Exceptional notes.
The Villa-Lobos Museum is a tribute from the city of Rio de Janeiro to one of its most famous historic figures. The institution opened in 1961, two years after the death of Brazilian composer. As well as conserving and promoting the musical heritage of Heitor Villa-Lobos through numerous educational initiatives, the museum hosts festivals, concerts and other didactic international competitions, confirming its mission to perpetuate the memory and the work of this major figure of Brazilian Modernism.
