exhibition · 2026-06-19

The Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM Rio) has opened a long-term exhibition that traces modern and contemporary art in Brazil through works from its three art collections. The show is organized chronologically into curatorial nuclei that dialogue with traditional Brazilian art historiography, but the narrative is challenged by works that escape temporal boundaries and by an architecture that encourages multiple paths and transversal interpretations. Throughout the exhibition, QR codes provide access to texts and images from the museum's documentary collections, connecting the works to crucial moments in Brazilian art history that took place around MAM Rio.
