(Translated by Google) Historical, artistic and ethnological museum, dedicated to research, conservation and exhibition of objects related to the cultural universe of blacks in Brazil. It is located in Ibirapuera Park, in São Paulo, in the Padre Manuel da Nóbrega Pavilion - building that is part of the park's architectural complex designed in the 1950s by architect Oscar Niemeyer, with structural projects by engineer Joaquim Cardozo. It is worth knowing, take your family too.

Vale a pena conhecer, leve a sua família também.

One of the greatest museums anywhere! So nice to not see lots of white European faces everywhere. Thrilling to see art from a different perspective. I loved every second of this Museum and was not prepared for how much it moved me.

10 out of 10!!! The Museu Afro Brasil is a cultural necessity that beautifully captures the essence of African influence on Brazilian heritage. The art collection is magnificent!!! There’s a library. I only wish they offered tours.

Some interesting pieces and lots of history cab be found here but i don't feel it was displayed engaging enough. There were some really interesting 3D pieces and artifacts but for the most part it was just alot of the same and the flow of the museum (literally how you navigate through the history) was so unorganized you almost needed a guide. There are 2 floors and they ask that you put belongings in the locker.

So much to see here. There aren't descriptor plaques in English, but it was still such an immersive experience. You get a feel for the history through experiencing the many treasures of this collection -- art, tools, textiles, and much more.

(Translated by Google) Huge and very rich collection. Mandatory visit. On Saturdays, admission is free. (Original) Acervo enorme e riquíssimo. Visita obrigatória. Aos sábados a entrada é gratuita.

I found this museum on Google, 2 years ago and finally got a chance to visit. This was an excellent and emotional experience. More people NEED to go here and learn about the history. Side note, I am an American of African descent and completely enjoy it.

You learn a lot about AfroBrasilian people through impressive photos, writings, videos ... It's a good place to start when you come to SP.. And then you may choose to walk in Avenue Paulista to understand better and feel the city-spirit.

What an awesome museum that not only gives you a perspective of the slave trade, but more importantly the massive cultural influence that the Afro Brasilian culture has had on Brazil, one of the highlights of my visit to São Paulo

Fantastic place to visit if you're in Sao Paolo. They have a lot to see with regards to African History and the staff are very helpful as well.

Almost nothing in English. If you go to learn about history, culture and traditions, but do not read Portuguese, you will see a lot of pretty things, but miss the significance of most of it.

Urgent editing needed. The clutter in this exhibition space is overwhelming. Its like they dumped the entire storage in every inch of the venue. Objects have no space to breathe nor be appreciated, nor understood in the completely illogical and uncomprehensable display that will make your stomach ill. MASP is the only essential Museum in São Paulo. The Bienal is fantastic if you catch it. MAM and MAC are tired.

(Translated by Google) I already liked it, I felt very good. Incredible collection. very interactive mandatory for those who live or visit sao paulo and are interested in the history of our black ancestors or even in the history of brazil (Original) ja fui gostei me senti muito bem acervo incrivel. muito interativo obrigatorio para quem mora ou visista sao paulo e se interessa pela historia dos nossos antepassados negros ou mesmo pela historia do brasil

(Translated by Google) Place that leaves people with a mixture of curiosity and sadness for the story so well told in the images and stories. Attentive and helpful staff with lots of information for everyone (Original) Local que deixa as pessoas com um misto de curiosidade e tristeza pela história tão bem contada nas imagens e histórias. Funcionários atenciosos e prestativos com muita informação para todos

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place, very good to enjoy with the family. I highly recommend it. (Original) Lugar fantástico, muito bom para curtir com a família. Super recomendo.

Located inside the parque ibarapuera, this treasure of an artifact collection stands proudly as a monument to Afro Brazilians and their role in the construction of modern day Brazil. By far one of the most moving museums I have ever visited. The museum is separated into three levels, each of which illustrates the various indigenous groups that composes modern and former brazil. What I enjoyed most of the museum are the artifacts. No where else have I seen as many artifacts up close than here. One can truly see the work and ingenuity in a lot of the pieces. From a historical standpoint this place is priceless. They have an actual preserved hull of a ship used to transport slaves from Africa to Brazil. Playing above the ship's hul are pictures of when the ship was recovered. The front desk agent told me the hull is one of the most seen pieces of the museum's collection. More contemporary, a good piece of the museum consists of artworks by late artists of Afro descent. If you are in the area I would highly recommend you visit this museum. It stands above the rest in São Paulo in my opinion.

This gallery is a masterpiece - I’ve never seen such a diverse collection before. It even outdoes the African-American museum in Washington. An amazing collection of art, history, heartbreak and of course - triumph! You need at least a few hours to go through the museum in detail and most exhibits have an English explanation - brilliant!

Must visit for anyone in Sao Paulo after a nice stroll across the Ibirapuera park. Do not miss the mestre Didi room and the Pierre Verger pictures.

This place is HUGE and very rich in content! Vast variety of art from tribal to contemporary abstract to realist, from painting to sculpture, from tools they used to use to make coffee/cheese to the accessories/clothes they used to wear! This place will make you realize how rich the Afro-Brasilian culture is. The only downside is that all the descriptive text is written in Portuguese and not in English! Entrance is 3brl if you're a student!

(Translated by Google) The museum has a very rich collection. It is inside the Ibirapuera Park and may go unnoticed by many, as it is not so well known. I recommend the visit, especially for history students, you will be surprised. (Original) O museu tem um acervo riquíssimo. Fica dentro do Parque do Ibirapuera e pode passar desapercebido por muitos, já que não é tão conhecido. Recomendo a visita, principalmente para estudantes de História, você irá se surpreender.

(Translated by Google) Every paulistano / paulista / brasilian or even human being should visit this place. The arts, the artifacts, the environment ... It's great to think, reflect, understand what we are and where we come from. I missed more about capoeira but it doesn't change the fact that it's the best museum in São Paulo! (Original) Todo paulistano/paulista/brasileiro ou até ser humano deveria visitar esse lugar. As artes, os artefatos, o ambiente... É ótimo para pensar, refletir, entender o que somos e de onde nós viemos. Senti falta de mais coisas sobre capoeira mas não muda o fato de que é o melhor museu de São Paulo!

(Translated by Google) A wonderful collection !!! Go early to allow time to see everything calmly. 😊 (Original) Um acervo maravilhoso!!! Ir cedo para dar tempo de ver tudo com calma. 😊

What a wonderful cultural experience! Highly recommended! You can't bring backpacks but they provide a free locker to store your things while visiting.

A lovely experience. We went on a Wednesday when it’s free admission. The museum layout is very nice. I just wish they had English or Spanish subtitles on their displays. It would help globalize the exhibits. Otherwise, it was lovely to visit.

Very impressive museum with a large collection. I particularly loved the temporary exhibit on the tools used by enslaved Africans and of course the slave ship. However, the museum doesn't get 5 stars from me despite how much I loved it because not only is the flow between exhibits a little haphazard, but the idea that a museum as great does not provide multi-language translations or audio guides for people who don't know Portuguese well is crazy. Without being able to understand Portuguese you're left to randomly roam around while not understanding the significance of what you're seeing. If you're one of those people, go on a Wednesday when it's free admission so even if you're disappointed, you didn't lose any money.

We enjoyed it so much. Learnt a lot of Brazilian history. Need to go back to see more and see around the park.

This is one of the best museums focusing on the African diaspora that I have ever had the pleasure to visit. I've been to similar museums in Ghana, Tanzania, Washington DC and Curacao and this museum really stands out as one of the best. The vast collection encompasses everything from folk art to popular music to the slave trade Brazil's history. You could easily spend a full day here and not taking everything there is to see, particularly since in addition to their permanent collection they often have special exhibits. The curatorial approach definitely deserves special mention: This Museum overwhelms you, but in a really good way. It draws you in and makes you ask questions It helps you to see things that you wouldn't have seen before. I'm particular note. I loved the display of the Miracles. Well, almost none of the curatorial notes are presented in English I did find that I was able to take pictures of the text and use my Android phone to translate the text into English. It was a bit awkward at times, but it was definitely worth reading the curatorial notes which I thought were brilliantly written.

A-mazing!! This museum has an enormous and very well displayed collection of paintings, sculptures and artifacts throughout the history of Africans in Brasil. I will definitely return because you need a full day to take it all in.

A fabulous museum. It's worth the visit, and the education you get from it is priceless. It's free to go and you can take photos. Really brings to life the history of Brazil built on the slave trade.

Very good museum. Good news was it was free the day I came (Saturday). I wish there were more signs on what is where. I left before seeing half of it bc I didn’t know where to go. Also, all signs and plaques are in Portuguese, so if you dont speak Portuguese (English and Spanish for me) it can be hard to get a true feel for the artists and exhibits. Love learning about my people though 🫶🏾🤎

We went there on the day of the week when anyone could visit the museum for free. The 1st floor is under construction, but fascinating museum indeed! I wish they had more information available in English.

A must see in São Paulo. A rich visit to the amazing and undervalued Afro-Brazilian culture. It is a very content dense, book a few hours to explore the diffident areas.

A nice museum with a lot of historical context on black history. It is a shame that it is only in Portuguese. Getting in was easy, they have lockers to store your bags. Plan this museum with your trip to Park Ipirabuera as the museum is within the park vicinity. It is also under construction like the Museum of São Paulo.

One of the biggest park that I ever visited. Good food, free museums, plus many more to see.

A breathtaking and important collection. I could have spent all day there. I highly recommend a visit.

It was a nice museum to spend some time on my Sunday. Personally it could have been better if there was more of a structure is the display but overal I liked it. On Sunday the entrance is free :)

A beautiful and serene location, from where one can learn about the history of Africans in Brazil. The slave trade, tradition, ancestry, shipping, etc.

Tons to see. It is a huge museum, packed with a lot of art and history. I was only 15R$.

I can't believe it was a Sunday afternoon and this museum was mostly empty. It houses a wonderful collection of Art made by black people, and it is stunning! It is also cheap, so really there are no excuses. I recommend!

Best thing u can do in sao paulo with R$6

Amazingly detailed. So much to learn and very respectful.

Absolutely fascinating, a great museum with lots to see.

Extremely unique museum exhibiting some finer parts of the African diaspora that is normally hidden from view. This shines a spot light on some of the art and culture of the native tribes in Africa, situations they have endured and treasured artifacts from many generations. Wide variety of artifact sizes from the smallest figurines to massive models that take up a large room. The space is extremely well used but also confusing to easily navigate and feels like a maze. Got lost a couple times when walking around. Admission prices are extremely reasonable and the locker rooms located near the entrance are large. Staff are all extremely friendly and relatively few visitors make for a great way to take in the artifacts with peace and quiet. I only wish the opening times were longer and if there were more English translations.

learning about ones culture ,the horrors of slave trade ,why, when and by whom! take a guided tour! its the best way to understand the complexities of the slave trade it self as well as understanding the realities of the Brazilian society today!

Museum text is generally not available in English, but the museum staff was able to help me in English and you could purchase an English pamphlet about the curation. No gender neutral restrooms. Unsure about wheelchair accessibility. Located in the park so quite scenic to walk to. There are capoeira and contemporary sections! The quaint gift shop wasn’t memorable in any way. Enjoyed spending two hours here.

This place is amazing. This is my second time in Sao Paulo and my first time in this museum. It has four floors dedicated to afro culture. You can see many pieces from Africa and north of Brazil.

Lugar muito significativo, importante é fundamental que é primordial para a história preta brasileira.

Informações riquíssimas, obras lindas! Recomendo para quem quiser fazer um passeio cultural enriquecedor!

(Translated by Google) The Afro Brasil Museum (MAB) addresses African culture and influence in Brazilian society and has been operating since 2004 at Pavilhão Manoel da Nóbrega, a building designed by Oscar Niemeyer and opened in December 1953.

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the visit (Original) gostei muito da visita

(Translated by Google) A treasure trove that exhibits and displays African elements buried in Brazil. There is a lack of detailed descriptions for each accessory, and there is no explanation in foreign languages ​​other than Portuguese, so the delivery power to foreigners is poor. However, forgiveness is not intended for foreign tourists. It is my theory and experience that Brazil cannot see 5% of his charm without knowing Portuguese. For fun or detailed explanations of another globalization from an angle that we are not familiar with, it is helpful to install and reference museu afro-brasil from the App Store. Or, take a friend who is well-informed to Brazilian history and buy a meal and listen to the explanation. (Original) 브라질 속에 묻어있는 아프리카 요소들을 총 망라해서 전시해 놓은 보물창고. 소품마다 자세한 설명이 부족하고 포르투갈어외에 다른 외국어 설명문이 없어 외국인들에게 전달력은 떨어진다. 하지만 원래 외국인 관광용은 아니니 용서. 브라질은 포르투갈어를 모르면 그가 지닌 매력의 5%도 볼 수 없다는 게 내 지론이자 경험이다. 우리에게 익숙하지 않은 각도의 또 다른 세계화를 읽는 재미나 자세한 설명을 원하면 앱스토어에서 museu afro-brasil를 설치해서 참조하면 도움이 된다. 또는 브라질 역사문화에 박식한 현지인 친구를 데려가 밥 사주면서 설명을 듣는 것도 한 방법.

Alot here but have a quick wander through and then loiter at the bits you like. These are mine:

Worth a visit if you are in Ibirapuera Park.

If i rate globally, it gets less stars but it's better as compared with other museums in the area. No English. You won't be bored.

Wonderful huge museum. Everybody should go to this museum to see the Permanent Collection of Candomble statues and authentic costumes from 1800s to now from Brazil. Lots to look at, learn and study about slavery in Brazil and inter-ethnic composition of the country. Touched on racism and human rights throughout the exhibits in large sections to walk through. Wheelchair accessible from large ramp with enlarged photos and posters as you go up (like NYC's Guggenheim Museum). Literature inside almost exclusively written in Portuguese. Would have been very helpful if explanation cards could also be translated into English for a wider audience to enjoy. Parking was free but unmanageably located far away and in the mud. Fabulous items on display everywhere on a large scale. Highly recommended also to see rotating exhibits from local artists including Afro-Brazilian painters, with museum docents accompanying tour groups. Could have stayed another 3 hours to view the Amazon Indian huts, feather displays, tools and photographs. A wonderful overall experience!

I wonder why this museum doesnt get more spotlight. Very very rich, maybe too dense even (but i’m still putting 5 stars to increase exposure). And I believe, super important in understanding the cultural and social background of a large part of this huge, complex country. Also, there’s a temporary exhibition on Indigenous culture with amazing featherwork.

VERY cool big museum with a lot of colorful art and history. If you love art and history, be ready to spend a lot of time here. There are lots of statues, photos, documents, and more. It may be hard for many tourists because there is no English translation here but there is free WiFi if you want translate something. You can learn a lot here.

I enjoyed the museum a lot. The only drawback is that there was no English translation. However, there's wifi so you can use the Instant Google translate. The exhibition is beautiful and the surrounding park is great for a walk after

Amazing!! must visit in São Paulo. Will give you a great insight of the origins of Brazil and the work done to end forced work (Slavery) and eradicate racism. Great place...

Nesse museu é retratada a história do povo afro brasileiro. Sua trajetória da África até o nosso continente. Sua riqueza cultura. O racismo presente em todos lugares em o negro está presente. Ideal para conhecer nossa história e refletir sobre o nosso lugar na sociedade.

Amazing museum about the Afro Brazilian history and art. Free on Wednesdays. Unfortunately everything was in portugiesisch. But they have WiFi and with the Google translator app you can get an idea of the Info given.

Very nice collection and history of the Brazilians of African descendants. Most panels were in Portuguese so I had to use Google translate.

Great museum. Extremely relevant for the Brazilian story.

This museum is very rich of content with an amazing collection and very great temporary expositions.

WOW! this is the very first museum that I visit with one of the best menu! yes they have ART but their food is another way to show their art! it is just so good, it could be a michelin class , for real, even the place is kind of small but they offer good art pieces, also the staff is so kind and they pay special attention to health for al the visitors, did I mention that the food is so GOOD? yes I must to visit in São Paulo

Great museum showing a variety of Afro-Brazilian art and history. Definitely a must see when visiting São Paulo

There are far too few resources for English speakers. I'd recommend hiring a guide if possible. Still, a fascinating museum. Very academic though, not really for casual visits. You have to put in work to get something out of it. No food onsite.

An amazing museum, beautifully curated and informative. I'd spent 7 days in Sao Paula and this was the first and only place I saw Afro Brazilian history and stories told - a significant part of the population who have grateful impacted and shaped Brazilian culture. I absolutely recommend. A unique and important experience at a truly special place. If you don't speak Portuguese download google translate in advance so you can tap into the rich information for each exhibit.

A must see if you want to know Black’s people artistic contribution to Brazil’s history

Fascinating museum about the Afro-Brazilian people and their history, including exhibits on several African countries as well as Brazil itself. A mix of sculpture, photography, clothing, modern art, with long interesting descriptions and analysis (almost all in Portuguese). The park itself is also lovely for lunch and a stroll or cycle.

A lot to see and learn, wish there was some sort of audio guides though

The museum was surprisingly elaborate and had a wide range of exhibits for its relative newness. I had been to the British Museum and I was able to see pieces I have seen there in the Afro Brasil Museum which says a lot about its ability to decrease the access challenges that people of the third world have in seeing such exhibits. I really appreciated the attention to details and thought that went into the various representation the afro-brasilian presence. As a person from the English-speaking Caribbean it was really refreshing seeing the similarities despite our temporal and linguistic differences. The section on Bahia and their independence effoets reminded me a lot of the Haitian experience. The security personnel told us that you are able to enter the Museum free on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not sure if this is for all visitors but it is worth checking this out in advance. Hats off to Mr. Araujo for his role in establishing the museum.
