A little jewel off the beaten tourist track but well worth the trip.The displays have loads of African and Portuguese exhibits that I have not seen in other places.I especially liked the African masks and the Angolan lids for pots where the top is carved to represent a proverb- cooking meeting common wisdom! They have a section covering the Amazon which can be seen by appointment and for groups bigger than 5. The video looked enticing so I will try and schedule a visit. Loved that they have an energy saving system where lights switch on/off as you move between areas,an innovation that I think many more museums should use, sustainability should cover all types of buildings after all. Definitely a good 2 hours spent for the visit.

Excellent exhibitions. Great space. Off the tourist-beaten path. My granddaughter and I were the only ones there. Inexpensive, surprising and eclectic, we had a fascinating time.

Huge empty place. Nice exhibition mostly African art, some Indonesian puppets and old portuguese tools
