Nova Iguaçu: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Nova Iguaçu is a populous municipality located in the Baixada Fluminense region of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. It is one of the major cities in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area. The city has developed from a historical agricultural center, known for its orange cultivation in the early 20th century, into an important commercial and residential hub.

The urban landscape of Nova Iguaçu reflects its rapid growth and industrialization over the past decades. While the city primarily serves as a residential area for workers commuting to Rio de Janeiro, it maintains its own cultural identity with local festivals, cultural centers, and educational institutions. The city has invested in cultural spaces and public facilities to promote local arts and preserve its heritage, though it faces typical urban challenges of a growing metropolitan region.
