Instituto Itaú Cultural

This cultural center is rich. It’s totally not a waste of time. Firstly everything is written in English and Portuguese making it easy for foreigners to read and understand the culture of Brazil and the pre colonial era. It brought back memories of my history class.
Secondly it’s totally free. No appointment needed just walk in.

Free pass and amazing place where you can learn about Brazil history. Recommend this place to all tourist and people from Brazil as well

Very interesting museum with gratis access 👍🏼

Really great collection of antique coins. Paintings of slavery in Brazil. Sketches of bird, plants, and fish native to Brazil. It was free, clean, and air conditioned. I loved it.

This small(ish) two floor cultural centre maps the history of Brazil from pre-European times till the present day. A few eye opening exhibits... all in the accessible limits of Paulista Avenue!

Very interesting exhibitions in nice space.

The collection on Brazil’s history is beautifully curated and I particularly enjoyed its depiction of natural beauties. The space is neatly arranged and the cafeteria is also good!

It’s great that there is an English narration of the whole brazilian history through the documents that are available here.

It’s free and contains very pretty drawings of Rio and Brazil.

This is fantastic. Particularly floor 4 and 5! Really fascinating history of Brazil. At times I felt it didn't take a hard enough line about how bad colonialism was, but it was reflective. The collection is good.

Very good, i'm happy

Absolutely free. Helpful stuff. Open expositions about science with explanations in portugues. Worth to see one time

When visiting Avenida Paulista make sure you make a quick stop here. Free cultural space.

It's a gem in Paulista avenue. The collection is impressive and unique in Brazil. It offers a view into the creation of the country trough paitings, objects, books, letters, coins, documents, etc. Curators did a great job.

So beautiful futuristic presentation, great design and vibe, very interesting history

Beautiful place for art exhibition, well acquainted and beautifully designed

Fantastic exhibit "Brasilianas". A great private collection of drawings maps etc by several renown scientists and scholars from the XVI to the XIX century, all depicting the nature, indigenous peoples, life as a whole in terrae brasilis. A must see!!!

Itaú Cultural is a great place if you're looking for a free museum that has both content and quality. If you have the chance to pay a visit to Brazil's history, do it. It is worth it.

Amazing place. It's full of culture. It is definitely a place to learn about history with literature, pictures and sound. The place is organized and clean. The employees are very kind.

What a wonderful place to learn about some of the stories of Brasileira past, present and future.
