Historical Museum of the City
Historical Museum of the City: nine decades depicting the history of Rio.
Located in a palace in the Park of the Gávea, the MHC was inaugurated in 1934, but the idea of a museum on the River emerged in the early years of the Republic. With a collection of about 24,000 pieces, between engravings, lithogravuras, watercolors and varied objects, the space depicts the evolution of the Wonderful City since its foundation. The building where it is installed, with panoramic view of the south, was erected in the 19th century and belonged to the Marquis de São Vicente and the Count of Santa Marinha.
