Huge cavernous spaces on three levels and what seemed to be on-going renovations. Not one of the staff seemed to know that only one floor had displays of any sort. We saw very funny editorial cartoons, caricatures by student artists and some impressionist paintings. It was not worth the dusty walk from Centro.

A surprisingly good cultural space in the old Gasometro (gas works) building
A rare and well succeeded new use for an old industrial installation, giving birth to a multifunction cultural center, with beautiful architectural solutions to the old building.
The location alone would be worth a visit, for the awesome scenery, by the riverside, with fiery sunsets over the horizon...

Former Porto Alegre's gas power plant, was deactivated a long time ago and turned into a Cultural Center. They have a theater showing alternative movies and eventual exhibitions. The building is by Guaiba River, which makes it more interesting.
