Museu de Arte do Rio - MAR

The Morrinho Project, permanently on display at the Rio Art Museum (MAR), is a fascinating installation that challenges the stereotypical view of Brazilian favelas.

Visiting the Morrinho Project at MAR is a unique opportunity to see the favela from a new perspective, highlighting the creativity, community and resilience that define these spaces.
