Museum of Folk Art Casa do Pontal

Located in Rio de Janeiro, the Casa do Pontal Museum is considered the largest and most important folk art museum in Brazil.

The collection includes more than 8,000 sculptures and models created in the second half of the 20th century by more than 200 Brazilian artists and sculptors. On an area of more than 1500 square meters there is a permanent composition of the museum, consisting of works of art from both the city and the countryside.

The museum itself covers an area of 12,000 square meters and includes unique landscaped gardens integrated into the museum's gallery. Thus, Casa do Pontal is not only a museum of folk art, but also a true anthropological museum that gives visitors a complete picture of the life and culture of the Brazilian people.
