During the centuries of colonialisation, Brazil saw millions of immigrants and slaves from all over the world flocking into the country. As a result, it is a diverse land with an array of cultures, languages, religions, flavours, colours and histories that make up its intricate heritage.These are accurately depicted in the many museums and galleries that are scattered throughout the country, inviting visitors to take a peek into yesteryear. This helps one to appreciate the rich history, as well as the many people that made their mark in this history, including politicians, royals, artists, scientists and even criminals.The National Museum of Brazil
Established in 1818 as the Royal Museum, this fascinating establishment was first set up by the Portuguese king, Dom João VI. Its aim was to promote scientific research in the country as it was then mostly unexplored and untainted by human habitation, leaving much to be discovered. http://www.museunacional.ufrj.br/
