Centro Cultural do Banco do Brazil

The Cultural Center of Brazil was founded in 1880. Earlier it served as the head offices of both this bank and the Rio de Janeiro Commercial Association.

In 1989 it was converted into a cultural center. It consists of two theaters, four exhibition halls, and a computerized library with over 100,000 volumes, an auditorium, video room and a movie theater.

Besides its rich architecture of the late 19th century, the Banco do Brazil Cultural Center offers a packed schedule of programs which should certainly not be missed by visitors visiting the royal city of Rio.

This is the country's best cultural centre of its kind. It is adorned with high- quality art films, state- of- the- art theatres and a large exhibit of fine arts and photography. It holds some permanent exhibitions like the collection of Brazilian coins. Displays are diverse, ranging from photography to experimental film festivals. Daily newspapers will have a schedule of events, some of which are free of charge.
