★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not enough signs to show where the mot ability route was. Staff really helpful. All signs in English as well as Portuguese. Gave a good insight into the history of Brazil from the beginning to the present day. Kept dry from the unexpected rain.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent explanation of Brazil’s history with explanations in both Portuguese and English on almost all exhibits. Enjoy a few hours to see everything and read the signage. You’ll learn about history through a timeline that explains the history of the country.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very informative and beautiful nationalistic collection. I learned a great deal about the history of Brazil here, and took a few great keepsake photos. I especially liked the carriage collection and the painting of the whales in the bay.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is enormous, and well worth checking out. It's housed in a beautiful old building with an interior courtyard, there are multiple levels. You will need at least two hours to thoroughly explore the entire place because it's huge. The only thing that I would have liked is a better focus on the indigenous history of Brazil.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is such a spectacular exhibition of Brazilian history and culture. Nevertheless; it leaves you with many questions and uneasy thoughts. For a country that had so much wealth and still does - where is the fair distribution of the wealth amongst the population? The Brazilian artists and master craftsmen were as good as their European counterparts but their pieces are absent from most west galleries - how come? The contemporary section of the museums boasts that Brazil produces surplus fuel for domestic demand but only a month ago, the country was shutdown due to truck drivers striking over the cost of petroleum - how does this occur? Like most museums, slavery is an ugly past but I think it deserves great recognition in the collection to recognise that such incredible development was at the cost of many individuals’ liberties
