The bar Rio Scenarium in Rio de Janeiro's historic Lapa district is a combination of three historic structures and the contents of many others that create a unique creative clutter of antiques and an amazing atmosphere. The walls and ceilings are covered with thoughtful collections of antiques - a wall of teapots, a ceiling of parasol umbrellas, and an old apothecaries shop moved into the building in its entirety to serve as a cocktail bar. Its an amazing experience to wander from room to room and seamlessly from building to building pondering the collections while live music comes from various corners - a pretty happening way to look at history!
