Well laid out and covered the nautical aspects of Salvador and the Bay of Bahia. Liked the examples of the ships which related to the age in which they existed. Magnificent views looking back inland.
the climb to the top of the lighthouse is worth the effort and will give you a lovely view of the sea and the city. The museum is small but very interesting, showing models of ships, explanations about them etc. A high-light are the ships in bottles, hanging in a separate room.
This is the best museum that I have been to in a long time. It is fairly small but the information is presented in a very comfortable way and very interesting. You also have the benefit of the views from the top of the lighthouse which are quite extensive, well worth a visit.
It is a interesting museum in the sense that they give you some history on the slave trade and how Salvador was started. You can also go up the lighthouse and view is amazing! You can take some beautiful pictures around this area
Among our first experiences in Salvador, this is a neat collection of nautical artifacts and stories.
The Lighthouse is a postcard, facing Baia de Todos os Santos. Installed in Forte de Santo Antônio da Barra, Brazil's oldest military building, whose construction dates back to 1534, the nautical Museum of Bahia has a valuable collection of archaeological finds, nautical, maps,explaining the maritime and military life of Salvador city.
It had interesting information in English giving the opportunity for one to learn about the history. Nice views, great at sunset.
Everyone should see this place. The museum was more than I had expected. There is also a good cafe there for lunch/coffee.
Definitely a must for those interesting in maritime exploration and maps. The fort is very well maintained and preserved with great views.
The museum is located inside this old fortress built by the Portuguese. Although it is a small museum, the information displayed (in different languages) is very interesting allowing a good understanding of the earlier history of Salvador and the impact of the sea on the development of the city.
