What to do and see in Zona Oeste (West Zone), State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Specialty Museums

September 1, 2021 Myesha Cogley

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Museu Selecao Brasileira - CBF

A fully interactive and technological experience about the National Team of Brazil! Photos, cups, legendary shirts and a collection with over 1,000 matches of the Canarinha. A real journey throughout the history of the world and the history of Brazil's football and its achievements such as the five World Cups won by us. Enjoy!

If you are a football fan you must see this museum. The building is spectacular, and the content shown in the various rooms is absolutely amazing. The history of the greatest football nation in the world is displayed in an exciting fashion, and the collection of trophies is a sight to behold. It is located directly beside the Barra Shopping mall, so there is no reason to miss out if you are in the area. The best part ? It's a mere R$20......
