Lonely Planet review for Museu Chácara do Céu

The former mansion of art patron and industrialist Raymundo Ottoni de Castro Maya is now the Museu Chácara do Céu, with a small collection of modern art. In addition to works by Portinari, Di Cavalcanti, and a good assortment of European and Asian works, the museum displays furniture and Brazilian maps dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Beautiful gardens surround the museum, with fine views of Centro and Baía de Guanabara. Sadly, four of the museum’s most valuable paintings were stolen during an armed robbery in 2006.
