| Mural of Rio |
Right at the foot of Corcovado, a few steps from the tram station, is a small museum, the Museu Internacional Naif do Rio, that is a real gem. It has a collection of 6000 paintings and sculptures by what some would call "primitive" artists, a la Henri Rousseau. But, the museum defines "naif" as self-taught artists who paint and sculpt their unique interpretation of daily life without formal rules or formal training. I am putting photos of a few of these wonderful paintings below to give you an idea of how charming and imaginative these very fine artists are.
