The Museu da Imagem e do Som do Rio de Janeiro (in English, Rio de Janeiro Museum of Image and Sound) was inaugurated on September 3, 1965, as part of celebrations of the fourth centenary of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The MIS is a museum of the Secretary of Culture of the state of Rio de Janeiro dedicated to Carioca culture.
The institution has launched a pioneering gender audiovisual museum, which would be followed in other Brazilian cities. In addition to having qualified as music and picture documentation center, it was also a cultural center of avant-garde in the 1960s and 1970s, a place of meetings and launching new ideas and behaviors. Currently, the MIS has its administrative headquarters in Lapa and a unit at Praça XV in the same region.
The building of the new headquarters of MIS, in Copacabana was announced in 2009, in the place of the old nightclub Help, an old point of prostitution in the city. The building will also house the Carmen Miranda Museum collection, now located in the Flamengo Park. The inauguration is scheduled for April or September 2016.
The Museum of Image and Sound, with all its historical and cultural value in the city of Sao Paulo, is a meeting place for people from São Paulo, where plurality in the arts programming and cultural effervescence abound. The Company operates based on areas designed to act in a coordinated and complementary manner: Programme, Library, Training, and MIS Points. Connected with other areas, the Programme, on its own or with guest curators, takes - on rotation - all of the Museum exhibition spaces, to produce events for film, video, and music - many on multimedia - for all types of audiences. The MIS also offers a public media library, with free access to publications, copies for dissemination of its collection of audio and video and a specialized library that provides specific material for cultural and educational entities.
