Museu Nacional de Belas Artes


The National Museum of Fine Arts sits at 199 Avenida Rio Branco, opened in 1938 after Gustavo Capanema’s 1937 initiative.

Wikipedia records the official establishment in 1937 and the inauguration in 1938. OpenStreetMap lists hours Tuesday–Friday 10:00–18:00 and Saturday–Sunday 12:00–17:00.

It is a Centro museum walk from Cinelândia, not a Lapa night stop.
