Niterói Museum of Contemporary Art opens rooftop for public visits

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) in Niterói is opening its rooftop to the public for the art installation “De onde não se vê” (From where one cannot see). Designed by architect Pedro Varella and the studio gru., the installation allows visitors to view the city and Guanabara Bay from the roof of the Oscar Niemeyer-designed landmark.

The experience returns to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the museum, which was inaugurated in September 1996. The installation will remain available until November 22, coinciding with the anniversary of Niterói.

Visits are conducted in groups of up to 15 people for 15-minute sessions, running from Tuesday to Sunday. Tickets must be purchased in person at the museum box office using cash, following a physical queue system for numbered passes. Admission is R$ 40 for full price and R$ 20 for half-price, which includes access to other current museum exhibitions.
