Museu Antropológico Estácio de Lima

Museu Antropológico Estácio de Lima, Anthropology museum in Salvador, Brazil.

The Museu Antropológico Estácio de Lima occupies the same building as the Instituto Médico Legal Nina Rodrigues, on Avenida Centenário 990 in the Barris neighbourhood of Salvador, and is also known as the Museu Nina Rodrigues. Its holdings are medical-legal, indigenous and cangaceirismo material, including weapons and personal objects of Lampião and Antônio Conselheiro, plus Federal Police weapons and samples of toxic substances.

The museum occupies the same building as the Instituto Médico Legal Nina Rodrigues on Avenida Centenário in the Barris neighbourhood, and is also known as the Museu Nina Rodrigues after that institute. Its holdings bring together medical-legal material, indigenous pieces, cangaceirismo items such as weapons and personal objects of Lampião and Antônio Conselheiro, Federal Police weapons and samples of toxic substances.

The museum is also called Museu Nina Rodrigues because it occupies the building of the Instituto Médico Legal Nina Rodrigues. Its collection includes personal objects and weapons of the cangaceiro Lampião and of Antônio Conselheiro, the leader of Canudos. Sérgia Ribeiro da Silva, a descendant of a cangaceiro family, has campaigned against the exhibition of human heads.

The museum is located on Avenida Centenário in the Barris neighborhood and welcomes visitors interested in Brazilian anthropology during regular opening hours. It is helpful to confirm visit availability beforehand, as the facility is shared with a legal medicine institute.

The museum houses Federal Police weapons and materials from criminal investigations, offering insight into how law enforcement operated in Brazil. This unusual collection reflects a lesser-known aspect of the institution's broader mission.
