Museu do Negro, Black history museum in downtown Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Museu do Negro exhibits sculptures, photographs, clothing, and documents that illustrate the African-Brazilian heritage through religious artifacts and historical records.
The museum, established in 1938 within the Church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito dos Homens Pretos, preserves items that survived the 1967 church fire.
The collection includes religious objects from both Catholic and Candomblé traditions, showing the connection between African and Brazilian spiritual practices.
Located at Rua Uruguaiana 77, the museum opens Monday through Friday from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with Saturday visits available by appointment.
The museum houses two original abolitionist banners and the marble mold used for Princess Isabel and Count d'Eu's tomb construction.
