I visited this museum after my walking tour around Colonia. Entrance is quite inexpensive, I think I paid 50 Uruguayan Pesos (maybe 2-3 USD$) for entry, but Argentine pesos and USD are not accepted. A bonus is admission also gets you in to 6-7 other museums around town.The Portugese museum was fairly interesting; they had numerous period costumes, some weapons, and a lot of maps from the colonial era. Unfortunately there was little to no English signage so some of this was difficult to appreciate. However, it did put the surrounding UNESCO site into perspective a bit after looking at old forts and cannons on the exterior.A quick visit for most should suffice.
Me pareció interesante, es un museo pequeño, que representa una muestra de la cultura portuguesa, Probablemente la bonita aquitectura de las casitas de Colonia esten muy relacionadas con dicha cultura, además de la española. Si se va a Colonia creo que es un museo que merece la pena visitar.
Dá pra entender a influência da corte portuguesa sobre a cidade. Lá temos um velho brasão português feito no Rio de Janeiro no final do século XVIII dentre outras raridades.
We got a lot out of a quick trip to the Portuguese museum, including an overview of the differences between Spanish and Portuguese architecture and a look at everyday colonial life.
Está havendo uma pequena confusão entre as atrações nesse tópico. O Museu Português é uma coisa e o Museo Casa de Nacarello (o de fachada cor-de-rosa) é outra coisa. O Museu Português faz parte do grupo de museus que se visita com a entrada única adquirida no Museu Municipal, é permitido fotografar o seu interior sem flash.
The smallest museum I have visited. You can walk through in 10 minutes and nothing special about it. No guides no easy way to understand
This museum was included as part of the pass we bought from Museo Municipal. It is housed in an original building with enormously thick walls. There are many rooms which kinda follow the previous layout of the house. The exhibits depict the story of the colonization of the Spanish & Portuguese. There is some impressive furniture, porcelain, guns and maps plus an opportunity to see uniforms on life sized models.
As the majority of the museums in Colonia,it is really small and you can see it in a few minutes.It has some nice objects,but it is a pity that as in the other museums of the town,fotos are not allowed.
Interessante a visita ao casarão onde reúne o acervo do presença portuguesa, há interessante registro dos personagens da coroa portuguesa, claro os mesmos que dominaram o Brasil.
If you like history, this is the place to you. The museum is very well presented, nice place, with notices on the walls telling more about the story of colonization between Portuguese and Spanish antiques.
