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...

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...
