★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The place itself is awesome. But the Brennand family is the richest family in Recife. They clearly own way too much not just land but power in the city. I’m pretty sure we paid R$30 or $40 each person.
This family started their legacy on enslaved peoples blood and continue to make money until today, a bunch of things inside is extremely racist and without proper information about the real story. Everything is disgustingly whitewashed.
I’ve been there about 10 years ago but I had no idea of the family history, the Ricardo brennand has his face all over the place, clearly his ego didn’t care about the injustice and poverty around the city.
My people is hungry and these people pretty much own everything, I do not recommend for this reason.
It’s not fair.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is incredibly beautiful and well kept. The weapon museum is rich in articles being displayed and the exhibitions are also pretty rich, talking about the colonial and Northeast. Amazing place to go to see the museum or even only for a walk

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing as always. The Cafe could offer a Vegan menu (some people are allergic to milk protein, eggs, etc...)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a lovely place to visit. A nice collection of art and regional history. Even an amazing building full of armor and weapons.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A lovely and somewhat eclectic museum on beautiful grounds. I especially enjoyed the Brazilian section with tapestries and paintings from the Dutch occupation in the 17th century. Well-worth a few hours’ visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is definitely one of the best museums in Brazil, probably the best outside Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. There is a wide variety of arts, from sculptures to painting, that cover different moments of history. The main exposition is about an important parte of Brazil, which is the Dutch occupation of the northeast, that happened in the 17th century. The building where the museum is gorgeous. The price (in Oct. 2020) is R$30, with half price for teachers and students. There is also a great restaurant there but it is quite expensive.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Incredible museum by the Brazilian art collector and businessman Ricardo Brennand, one of the best I have visited apart from The Louvre in Paris.
I recommend at least 3 hours to browse through all the buildings and some more time if you want to sit down for a coffee in the lovely Cafe or eat something in the restaurant.
The Institute holds a permanent collection of historic and artistic objects of diversified provenience, ranging from Early Middle Ages to 20th century, with strong emphasis in objects, documents and artwork related to Colonial and Dutch Brazil, including the world's largest assemblage of paintings by Frans Post.
The Institute also houses one of the largest collections of armory in the world, with 3,000 pieces, the majority of which were produced in Europe and Asia between the 14th and 19th centuries. The library has over 62 thousand volumes, ranging from 16th to 20th century, including a collection of brasiliana and other rare items.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice collection but completely unorganized in any thematic or chronological way. Even the main exhibition of Dutch presence in Brazil is mixed with random pieces of sculpture and porcelain. Most of the pieces lack information or they are too small printed. Even more shocking is the text praising the Dutch colonization as a positive thing. The collection needs a good and critical curatorship work to transform it in a Museum.
