Rio Branco Palace
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Rio Branco Palace for history; they come to feel the weight of it, to walk the same mosaic-tiled floors where governors and soldiers once decided the fate of an entire state. It’s a place where every gilded mirror and carved wooden door tells a story of power, from its colonial origins to its life as a military headquarters. You can almost hear the echoes in the grand, high-ceilinged salons, rooms frozen in time with their heavy velvet drapes and opulent European furniture. It’s less a sterile museum and more a beautifully preserved relic, letting you touch a layered, often dramatic, past.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the stunning throne-like chair in the main audience room, or the collection of vintage firearms that hints at the building's martial history. The intricate Portuguese azulejo tiles lining many of the corridors are themselves masterpieces.
