Buzios Museums and Art Galleries

(Buzios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

There is little in the way of museums and galleries in Buzios, since most people really do come here to spend time sunbathing on the beautiful sandy beaches. However, that said, there are a number of museum-like attractions that may be of interest to the more discerning of holidaymaker cum culture vulture.

Located within the Tauá Ecological Reserve of Buzios is a small museum, which features a series of art works created by local artists from the state of Rio de Janeiro. This reserve is well worth visiting for its high concentration of native monkeys and endangered animals.
