Afro Brazil Museum, Sao Paulo

So much rich history! The man at the front desk was funny and very sweet. Apparently I did something incredibly upsetting. I video recorded in a building that doesn't mention "no videotaping". I was walking through the third floor of the museum when I over heard a security guard talking about me over his radio. I continued on through the museum when I was stopped by a serious looking man who was telling me to put my go pro away. No video recording. I told him I don't speak Portuguese and that my go pro does photos too. After the uncomfortable exchange I continued to see him more often. I felt uncomfortable. I walked toward the front desk where I greeted the nice front desk man who I spoke to about video recording. He told me its ok on the third floor after we reviewed the list of rules that only mention no flash photography. The serious looking man suddenly appeared telling the front desk man no recording upstairs. So I said that's fine but no where does it say I can't record. I felt uncomfortable and upset because the dirty looks I received from the other guy were uncalled for. He looked at me like I was scum. I won't step in there again.

Huge museum filled with countless artifacts, historical items, and art. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the interpretation was in Portuguese so as an English speaker I wasn't able to understand much of what was going on. Regardless, still worth a visit to check out some amazing things!

Muito rico o acervo, emocionado e informativo! Entrada barata, de não me falha a memória custou R$ 12,00 ou R$ 10,00 a inteira.

One of the top experiences in Brazil. Carve out about 2hrs to really explore and enjoy the space.

Museum doesn't have English translation but is still worth a visit.
