Rio Negro Palace (Palácio Rio Negro)

Built during the ‘Rubber Boom’ of the early 1900s, the Rio Negro Palace in Manaus, Brazil, initially served as a grand mansion. Over the years, it transitioned into the seat of local governance and, in 1997, was transformed into a cultural center open to the public. Today, visitors can explore an art gallery and a museum, both housed within the palace’s ornate architecture. The space also includes performance venues for local productions, making it a vibrant hub for art and culture in the heart of the city.
