Great museum, explaining the evolution of Brazil. Many artifacts and paintings from the imperial times of government. No cost for entry.

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.

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.

Great exhibits that include a lot of information in Portuguese and English. 10 R entrance Feb 2019, free on Sunday and possibly on Tuesday, closed on Monday. This represents great value as an activity in the city.
