<p>As museums slowly begin to reopen, these should be at the top of your list.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum&mdash;Rio de Janeiro, Brazil</p>

<p>No, it is not a flying saucer. Overlooking the sea and offering a panoramic view of Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, and Sugarloaf Mountain, the Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum is one of its kind. Its modern structure, designed by Oscar Niemeyer, makes it look like a UFO which could have just landed on a rugged cliffside.</p>
<p>But what does this mysterious shape exhibit internally? You tell us. Exhibitions are temporary, so their content will depend on when you visit.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Note:</strong>&nbsp;You can access the museum by ferry, and then you have around 15 minutes walk to access the inside of the museum.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Gold Museum&mdash;Bogota, Columbia</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Have you ever heard of the El Dorado Legend? It is said that, in the 16th century, a South American city was entirely made of gold. Explorers and conquerors believed the myth and traveled considerable distances to find valuable treasures. They attacked cities to possess wealth and stole gold but never found the El Dorado.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The museum, also called El Museo del Oro, contains about 34,000 gold pieces, making it the world&rsquo;s most extensive gold collection. Having the opportunity to learn about Colombian history surrounded by valuable artifacts on two floors and being that close to ancient luxury objects may feel surrealist, but you can see it with your own eyes.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Note:</strong> You can visit and explore the museum thanks to an audio tour in which savoring and remarkable stories will be told in English or Spanish.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Museo Subacuatico de Arte&mdash;Cancun, Mexico</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Will you spend your holidays in Mexico or near Yucatan? Meet you in the deep sea to explore the 500 human-sized sculptures realized by the British artist Jason Caires Taylor. This is a unique experience to see the MUSA, <em>Museo Subacuatico de Arte</em>, bringing art to the service of the environment.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As frozen in time, you will see a crowd of women, men and kids, immobilized in their actions and covered by all forms of life: algae, fish, coral, and sand.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Don&rsquo;t forget to wear a mask and snorkel or you&rsquo;ll miss all the fun.</p>

There is no need to wear your walking shoes; they won't be worn out as the museum can be accessed through mountain railways.</p>
