巴西创造力的圣殿：IMS 里约之魂

坐落于里约热内洛依郁郁葱葱的怀抱之中，

莫雷拉·萨莱斯学院

(IMS) 宛如一座闪耀的丰碑，见证着巴西文化永恒不灭的精神。它不仅仅是一座博物馆，更是一个有生命、有呼吸的圣殿，在这里，历史与现代在光影的无缝舞动中交汇。该机构由富有远见的银行家兼外交官沃尔特·莫雷拉·萨莱斯于 1992 年创立，其诞生源于一种深切的冲动，即保护巴西身份那多层面的丰富内涵。最初的一项专注文化事业的尝试，如今已绽放成为艺术领域的多面支柱，而其里约热内内卢分馆更是成为了求知欲与自然壮丽景观交织的惊艳之地。对于艺术爱好者或独具慧眼的收藏家而言，IMS 提供的不仅是一场展览，更是一次与巴西灵魂本质的深刻邂逅。

IMS 里约的建筑体验本身就是一部现代主义优雅的杰作。这座由 Olavo Redig de Calas 于 20 世纪 50 年代设计的建筑，体现了世纪中叶人类创新与有机世界和谐共生的理想。建筑设计利用宽阔的玻璃墙和开放式走廊，消融了室内展厅与周围茂密植被之间的边界。这种与自然的对话，因传奇景观设计师

的加入而进一步升华。他精心打造的花园以富有节奏感的几何图案排列着巴西本土植物，宛如活生生的雕塑，勾勒出博物馆现代主义的线条。对于室内设计师或空间美学鉴赏家来说，阳光穿透蒂茹卡森林（Tijuca Forest）树冠、洒满博物馆大厅的方式，为氛围构图与宁静沉思提供了一场无与伦比的视觉课。

视觉与听觉遗产的万花筒

IMS 体验的核心在于其非凡的馆藏——这是一场涵盖摄影、音乐、文学和电影的文化表达万花筒。摄影档案或许是该机构最珍贵的瑰宝，馆内收藏了惊人的两百万幅图像，记录了巴西从 19 世纪到当代时期的视觉演变。参观者可以通过

和

等大师的先驱镜头，追溯这个国家的叙事脉络，并由此过渡到探讨复杂社会与政治景观的现代作品。这种视觉之旅得到了听觉与文字深厚底蕴的补充；学院在颂扬桑巴（samba）与波萨诺瓦（bossa nova）节奏遗产的同时，还通过策划讨论会和新书发布会，培育着充满活力的文学社区。

正是这种多学科的方法——将图像、声音与文字视为同一幅织锦中地位平等的丝线——使得 IMS 成为那些渴望理解巴西遗产真实广度的人们的独特目的地。尽管里约热内内卢馆址目前正处于一个雄心勃勃的翻修期，旨在扩大存储空间并提升参观体验，但莫雷拉·萨莱斯学院的精神依然保持着旺盛的生命力。通过合作展览和数字化资源，该机构持续在历史保护与当代创新之间架起桥梁。随着博物馆准备在 2025 年揭开其焕然一新的物理空间面纱，它已蓄势待发，准备再次重申其作为创造力灯塔的角色，确保沃尔特·莫雷拉·萨莱斯的遗产将继续照亮通往文化丰富与艺术发现之未来的道路。
