Irmã Dulce Memorial

Museum

👍👍 What to say about this little woman, who was giant in her actions. I think it's a fundamental place, especially if you go to Bonfim Church, which is close by. A place for many reflections where you can find Sister Dulce's story through her personal objects, a very important place for the history of...

Afro-Brazilian Museum UFBA

Museum

😠 I dont think this should be called an Afro-Brazilian museum. It has no mention of slavery, afrobrasilian culture (besides religious relics), afrobrasilian social and political movements, famous black individuals, etc. Very disappointing in the city with more Afro-Brazilians than anywhere else. The m...

Museu de Ossos

Museum

👍👍 Lugar humilde que precisa de ajuda governamental. O lugar é fantástico feito com objetos marinhos recolhidos das praias com cuidado único e de beleza grandiosa.

Na ocasião em que fui o local estava abandonado, com muitos caramujos dentro, infelizmente já que é um lugar tão lindo e cheio de potencial... A moça que acompanhou a v...

Cidade da Música da Bahia

Museum

😠 I should have looked at the negative reviews as well as the positive. I consider myself to be tech savvy but what is the purpose of an interactive museum if it requires one to be able to speak Portuguese in order to interact? This could have been a positive experience and very informative if a simpl...
