Must to see
This is a interactive museum. Perfect to felling how deep is the Brazilian Culture, focusing in northeastern of Brazil. We watched a video about the nature and changes of temperature in the called sertao (drylands) and how the people who lives there. I felt a deep emotion watching this short movie. In addition , we can go ahead and listen and learn about a legendary singer called Luiz Gonzaga, a artist which sang about the dryland life of the people of northeastern of Brazil. This museum is a perfect place to see what exist behind the scenes, in other words, what exist behind the culture of Recife city, what exist behind each piece of handicraft being selling in Recife. Must to see, it is a good place to have a break if you are tired (physically, of course) from the gorgeous beaches from Pernambuco State.

Beautiful interactive museum
It shows so much about the northeastern drylands with interactive material to give you a taste of the music and lifestyle of people that make this Brazilian region so special. I specially liked the shorts presented on a huge curved screen that is so immersive and well presented. Also the personal interviews from famous and not so famous north-easterners that made their way into the 'south' to better themselves and their families which include Brazilian former president Lula. We didn't find it particular accessible as the only lift was undergoing maintenance and making our way into the museum was awful as there is plenty of works ongoing around it affecting sidewalks and pedestrian lanes are poorly accessible as well if you are on a wheelchair or pushchair. Also frustrated because we couldn't get our 2 year old son to play with the instruments they have available for that on a particular section as it's currently only available for 7 year olds or more.
