Robert Polidori/IMS Collection
Robert Polidori/IMS Collection
Robert Polidori/IMS Collection High up in the Gávea neighborhood and surrounded by the lush Floresta da Tijuca, the house where Walther Moreira Salles and his family used to live became in 1999 the headquarters of the Instituto Moreira Salles in Rio de Janeiro. IMS Rio offers exhibitions, film screenings, concerts and cultural events, and shelters the institution’s photography, music, literature and iconography collections. The house, planned by Olavo Redig de Campos with landscape design by Roberto Burle Marx, is a landmark of 1950s modern architecture and an attraction in itself.

Info in Portuguese
Celebrating the work and legacy of Clarice Lispector (1920-1977), this is an investigation of the writer's poetics, bringing together 300 items, including manuscripts, photographs, letters, records, press articles, and other documents.
A key name in Brazilian literature, Lispector also had a great interest in the visual arts. Connections between Clarice's works and those of women who, during the same period (1940s-1970s), left their mark on the history of Brazilian art, propose a web of relationships with new and surprising reciprocal readings
