Rio de Janeiro Travel Information
Indio Museum
Indian Museum of Rio de Janeiro
Housed in an elegant 19th-century mansion in a quiet part of Botafogo, the Indian Museum's collection is one of the most important in Latin America, with over 14,000 artifacts and 16,000 books on indigenous people of Brazil. There are also over half a million historical documents on Brazilian Indian tribes, giving a clear picture of how they lived, and their culture. There are no signs in English, but the exhibits are so vivid they speak for themselves. For kids there is a gallery with (washable) body paint and a large selection of stamps so they can practice adorning themselves as warriors, hunters, chiefs, or shamans. It's a great spot for children and an easy place to spend 2 hours.
