Fiquei muito impressionada com este museu! Recomendo a visita pois o acervo é muito rico. A casa mostra mobiliário e pertences do morador e sua esposa, que pertenciam à alta sociedade de Salvador.
A fine collection of silver from the colonial period. Small cafe. WOrth a visit to flee from the caos of Salvador.
I loved to see the fine arts and objects used by the Bahia’ sugar cane aristocracy ( XVII to XIX Centuries).I dislike the Museum opening hour : 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM. Too short and in the middle of the day.
Interesting collection, various aspects of colonial life illustrated in quiet, clean and comfortable surroundings. Lovely cafe in the garden, great for a mid-morning or lunchtime snack or coffee - even frequented by the locals.
Museu diferente. Abriga o que seria a casa de Costa Pinto, mas vê-se que se atualizou no tempo, tem uma parte da exposição muito boa que fala das jóias de crioula!! Muito lindo o espaço e tem um excelente café!
Of interest to see how the Europeanised rich lived in the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries. There is also a fine selection of Bahian jewellery. Everything is very well displayed and the labelling is all in correct English for once!
This wonderful museum of antiques, treasures and artifacts collected over a lifetime by the philanthropist Carlos Costa Pinto is somewhere you really ought to visit. It is in the actual house where the Costa Pintos lived in Salvador.. He made his fortune from sugar and as he and his wife had no children, they spent their money on collecting many treasures, some of which are housed in the museum and were a gift to Salvador. You can gasp at the richness of some of the jewels and gold. Beautifully displayed and lit.
If you enjoy historical homes you should visit this one. You walk through on your own with guides to point you in the right direction and it should take you 1-2 hours to get through. We enjoyed seeing some of the plantation history in this well preserved home.
Una residencia de la Familia Costa Pinto acondicionada en forma excelente y moderna, para guardar los tesoros acumulados por esta flia. Increíble por ejemplo, ver las joyas de oro y plata que portaban las esclavas de la época, una manera de demostrar la riqueza y el poder de sus duenos.
When we were in Salvador we were staying close to this museum and it rained quite a lot, so this was a nice place to spend some time. It was interesting to learn about all of the luxuries brought to the colony.
