Palacete Provincial

This free of charge museum is most prominent museum of Manaus city center. It's composed of a group large chambers layout into two floors, containing both historical and artistic items. I would underscore the painting of "O último baile na Ilha fiscal", a dark painting portraying the lush lifestyle of the high class at its left, and the gods judgment at its right. The museum also has a small Miro painting. The "Tiradentes" chamber is a must, describing the violence past, with signs both in Portuguese and English. And, for last, do not miss, the Movie projection machine powered by coal, which would required a fire extincter.

You can find several gallery and museum here including a military museum and a coins and money museum. There is also a cafe at the first floor.

Although they do try to make it interesting, it is amatoristic and it is very old fashion. We did not find anything on the history of the building and place itself. Missed opportunity.

It is a great free museum, and my free tour guide Giselle was very informative in teaching me about the history of Brazil.

Outstanding museum, well located and ready to help staff. The building is, actually, a group of museums and exhibition (around 7), ranging from paintings to coins and even full-fledged medieval armours.

One of the most interesting places of Manaus. They have a lot of museums and a nice external square. The historical building is really beautiful and a touristic attraction.

Love this place! Students which specializes in each area of museum following you and tell you in good English about their part like for example art. Must visit when in Manaus.

There is a museum inside and the military police is still working inside. There is a room where the Amazonas Chamber Orchestra does its rehearsals. I and being there to the rehearsal of the XXI FAO Festival Amazonas de Ópera (Amazonas Opera Festival), for the show Acis and Galatea. May 2018
