Journey beyond the famous beaches of Rio de Janeiro and into the heart of its cultural soul on a walking tour through Little Africa. This immersive experience explores the profound Afro-Brazilian heritage that shaped this vibrant city. We move past surface-level histories to uncover the concealed narratives and powerful legacies of the African diaspora in Brazil. You will walk the same cobblestone streets where history was made, discovering stories of resilience, struggle, and immense contribution often left out of the guidebooks. Our carefully curated path leads you to historically and culturally significant sites, each a living testament to the influence of Black individuals on Brazilian society. We delve into the complex history of slavery and feel the foundational rhythms of samba that were born in these neighborhoods. The journey also sheds light on the social upheaval of the historic Vaccine Revolt and explores the rich tapestry of Afro-Brazilian religiosity, revealing spiritual practices that have endured and flourished for centuries. This tour allows you to connect with the authentic voices that form the backbone of Rio's identity. By exploring these historic landmarks, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the invaluable contributions of Afro-Brazilians to the nation's economy, culture, and collective spirit.

Well-curated and intellectually stimulating exhibit. We were surprised to find out there was no entry ticket. A must-visit!
This museum is fabulous and worth the trip. While in Rio, I went to the Museum of Tomorrow and the Rio Museum of Art. I enjoyed MUHCAB the most because it was not only beautiful it was also informative. The staff are lovely and it has an amazing gift store.
This was so special to me. The story of Afro-Brazilians is fascinating. The building is absolutely gorgeous. They often organize viewings or musical performances. Long live to this museum
We went as part of a tour with Damiana of Afro Brazilian history. Very informative!
Free and interesting place! Free water and clean washrooms
