Museu da Brigada Militar, Museum in Porto Alegre, Brazil
The Museu da Brigada Militar is a museum in Porto Alegre dedicated to documenting the history of the military police. It displays old uniforms, medals, weapons, and vehicles that show how equipment changed over many decades.
The original building dates to 1910 and was initially a training site for the military police. The museum was established in 1985 and opened to the public in 1987.
