Review:

For 40 nights, from late January to March, the carnival is conducted in the streets of Montevideo.

This small museum in the historic center of the city, chronicles the origin and history of Uruguayan carnival, the country's most popular festivity.

The museum arranges behind-the-scenes evenings with performers during the carnival and tours of the routes out of season. There are permanent, temporary and traveling exhibitions of costumes, props and photographs at the museum. The daily guided tours attract local and international tourists. The more in-depth workshops include a meal and wine.
