This is the best museum of Brasil in terms of value of its contents. The building itself is a beauty. Its contents is well organized and exhibited. Through these pieces the visitor is lectured Brazilian history and, especially, one os its most remarkable and well known episodes: the rising of the "inconfidentes", who defied the royal power and lit the candle of freedom in Brasil.

Very enligthening and well produced! Muito bem montado!
Whenever my husband and I visit a museum in Europe, we feel a little embarassed to compare how easy it is for us, portuguese speakers, to enjoy the complete experience through very well produced material for audio guides... and how far behind are brazilian museums in terms of that! But the Museum of Betrayal was a glad sight: we saw for the first time the use of audio guides in Brasil! So much more practical and enjoyable... Also I payed close attention to the english version of writen texts, they all seemed well researched and carefully thought, and so It must have been done the same way for the audio guide. Very detailed and illustrated, all kinds of information about Colonial Brazil and the Gold Cycle (specially the history of the insurrection of Tiradentes), beautifully renovated.
