About Museu de Arte Moderna de Resende
The Museu de Arte Moderna de Resende was founded in 1950 and brings together a collection related to Brazilian modernism, with works by artists such as Tarsila do Amaral, Guignard and Lasar Segall. The institution is located on Rua Dr. Cunha Ferreira, in the Centro Histórico, in a house that once served as a commercial point for the former telephone company. The scale of the building favors a focused visit to the galleries and the works, allowing time to look at materials, forms and ways of representing the world. In addition to preserving the collection, the museum organizes exhibitions and visual arts salons that bring the city's contemporary production closer. The program changes throughout the year: confirm opening times before you go and check which rooms are available on the date of your visit. The route is an opportunity to learn about art history from a public institution in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro, without relying on a specific event.
