Take a tour of Brazil's Museum of Contemporary Art in Brazil – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
This space-age modernist structure, designed by Oscar Niemeyer, houses the Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum.
Situated at the bottom of cliff, with a spectacular beach and view of surrounding small islands and distance mountains, this museum provides visitors with more than spectacular works of art.
The reflecting pool of blue-green ocean water beneath the structure was intended by Niemeyer to be the likeness of a flower.
The wall of windows surrounding the entirety of the building provides amazing natural light as well as an amazing view from any angle.
Finished in 1996, it has quickly become one of Brazil's national treasures.
From the intricate spiraling walkway to the view from the courtyard and beautiful art housed inside, this museum is a visual treat from start to finish.
