I visited during the Christmas and New Year holidays 2019/2020 and was extremely impressed by the photo exhibit, which includes photos from the 1920´s to the 1950´s from Diamantina, MG. I believe it runs through early February, 2020 The documentary was excellent. A wonderful socio-cultural view of the early 20th century in MG.

Theatre with seating capacity of 264 people, a multipurpose room for audiovisual, a library and two cafeterias fill the neoclassical architecture, as well as large exhibition galleries. Visits to the building and the exhibits are free. Tickets for theater performances of dance and music cost R$ 10 (full) and R$ 5 (half). Open Wednesday to Monday from 9am to 21pm.

The CCBBB is located in a lovely building. I saw the Man Ray exhibit, which I believe runs to about early March 2020. While not Brazilian, it is a great show, complemented by a long but extremely interesting documentary, and on the level of anything you will find in New York City or the major cities of Europe. Since I was there over the 2009/2020 holidays, not much else was going on, but well worth the visit.
