The Museum in the Street project explores the city as a space of memory, expression, and resistance.

In this edition of Museum in the Street, the 459th anniversary of the city of Rio de Janeiro was celebrated. Through a bicycle tour carried out in partnership with Bike Anjo, the public was invited to follow a narrative route that highlighted how the city — which bears the river in its name — is founded and organized in dialogue with the dynamics of its own bodies of water.

The Carioca River, which originates in Paineiras (Tijuca National Park) and "invisibly" crosses the Laranjeiras neighborhood until it flows into Guanabara Bay, near Flamengo Beach, was an important part of the narrative. This body of water has a decisive centrality in the conflicts that marked the process of founding and establishing the city, in addition to giving its name to all those born there.

The route began at Praça Mauá, in front of the Museum of Tomorrow, and ended at the Monument to Estácio de Sá, located at the beginning of Botafogo Beach. During the journey, stops were made at the following points: Praça XV, Largo da Carioca, Outeiro da Glória, Deck da Foz (Flamengo Beach), concluding at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM).
