Niteroi
Across the bay from Rio De Janeiro, is the city of Niteroi, accessible by bus (over the bridge) or by a short ferry ride. There are really two reasons to visit Niteroi - one to see the view of Rio De Janeiro, and the second to see the Museum of Contemporary Art; well not the contents of the museum itself, but rather the building, considered to be one of the masterpieces of Oscar Niemeyer.
Niemeyer has a more recent creation, which is still under construction. It is a cultural centre, and will eventually be home of the Niemeyer Foundation. The functional efficiency of the theater is quite impressive - the theater stage can be used as part of the indoor complex or serve as a stage for outside.
