The Museu de Cera in Rio de Janeiro is a wax museum located within the AquaRio complex, presenting a collection of lifelike figures, including famous actors, athletes, and fictional characters. Visitors can expect a brief tour lasting around 15 to 30 minutes, showcasing approximately 20 wax figures. Access to the museum is relatively straightforward, but it is advisable to purchase tickets in advance to avoid long queues. However, the experience may come with additional costs for professional photography, as personal cameras are not permitted.

The exhibition features a range of figures, although reviews suggest that the selection may be limited. Guests encounter various well-known personas, but some visitors note that the quality and resemblance of the wax sculptures vary. Photographs with the figures require payments to on-site photographers, and prices can be steep, leading to mixed feedback on the overall value of the experience.
