"This is the territory of Samba
The Samba Museum was born and is located in the most poetic and traditional stronghold of Rio samba, the Mangueira neighborhood, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro.
The site offers a rich and varied cultural and educational program, with permanent and seasonal exhibitions, musical, gastronomic and multimedia events.
It also has a Samba Documentation and Research Center and the largest heritage and audiovisual collection of its kind.
It is a place of memory, preservation and representation of Afro-Brazilian culture and its work led to the title of samba as Cultural Heritage of Brazil.
With a unique collection, the Museum currently has more than 45 thousand items. Our heritage education center is considered a reference. We carry out several actions that disseminate and promote the appreciation of samba, the main identity reference of the Brazilian people.
The Samba Museum was founded in 2001 as the Cartola Cultural Center by the grandchildren of Cartola and Dona Zica, leaders of the community where the institution is based, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, RJ.
Since 2007, it has been responsible for safeguarding the Rio de Janeiro Samba Matrices, registered as intangible heritage by IPHAN.
Recognized as a Reference Center for Documentation and Research on samba, the site seeks to promote the appreciation and dissemination of samba, and the human and social development of individuals in socially vulnerable situations through cultural activities, research, exhibitions, workshops, courses, heritage education, and collection generation.
It is located at the foot of the Mangueira Favela, a place that, despite being a world reference for being one of the birthplaces of samba, lacks public state policies, especially for children and young people – the institution's art and education program is recognized and awarded." - https://www.museudosamba.org.br/sobre-o-museu
