Street Parties, Samba Parades and Flashy Carnival Balls – Enjoy all That and More at Rio Carnival 2020. As the Rio Carnival 2020 approaches, excitement builds up. The yearly party celebrated in real Brazilian style, continues until Ash Wednesday, which also marks the beginning of the Lent period, characterized by abstinence from worldly pleasures and fasting for Christians around the globe.

The Museu Nacional houses artefacts from Egypt, Greco-Roman art and some of the first fossils found in Brazil. Brazil’s oldest and most important historical and scientific museum has been consumed by fire, and much of its archive of 20 million items is believed to have been destroyed.
