Maison du Brésil, Colonial museum in Ouidah, Benin
The Maison du Brésil spans two stories in a restored Portuguese colonial structure and displays artifacts from the transatlantic period between Brazil and Benin.
Built in 1930, the museum preserves the memory of returned Afro-Brazilian families who established themselves in Ouidah during the 19th century.
The collection includes traditional ceremonial objects, photographs, and documents that demonstrate the strong cultural connections between Benin and Brazil.
The museum opens daily from 8 AM to 6 PM, offering guided tours in French and English, with an entrance fee of 2000 CFA francs.
Several rooms contain original furniture and personal belongings of Afro-Brazilian merchants who influenced the architecture and trade of Ouidah.
