About Casa da Cultura de Rio das Flores
The Casa da Cultura of Rio das Flores occupies a building that once served as the courthouse, the barracks and the jail. Its architecture and the change of uses allow you to recognize how former public spaces have been incorporated into the municipality's cultural life.
Observe the façade, the stairs and the arrangement of the complex before entering. The building should not be understood only as a container for exhibitions: its forms also record a history of institutions and services. The transition from administrative and control functions to a cultural use is part of reading the heritage.
The possibility of visiting the interior depends on service hours and the house's programming. Confirm what will be open, since a past exhibition does not represent a permanent offering. During the visit, look for information about the property's history and respect the working areas. The exterior can be part of an urban walk, paying attention to the unevenness of the access.
