(Translated by Google) It's a place with a lot of history to remember, because it has a lot of sad stories too. About religions, about the first presidents of Brazil. About the Indians of Lampião and Maria Bonita, there's even. The clothes, the head and the sword of. Lampião are all there in the original museum.
The lady who is the tour guide inside the museum is very attentive. The tour lasts on average 40 minutes. I recommend that those who arrive arrive with time because the museum closes at noon. They don't receive any help from the government or the city hall. From anyone, so they only receive donations to keep themselves open. The museum was kept open. It was built to be a school and a few years later. And the school is closed, it became a museum.
(Original)
É um lugar com muita história para ser relembrada, pois tem muita história triste também. A respeito de religiões a respeito dos primeiros presidentes do Brasil. A respeito dos índios de lampião e Maria bonita, inclusive tem. As roupas, a cabeça e a espada de. Lampião tudo lá no museu original.
A moça que faz ah, o guia turístico de dentro do museu ela é muito atenciosa. O passeio dura em média 40 minutos recomendo que quem chega chegue com o tempo porque lá fecha meio-dia. Eles não recebem ajuda de governo de prefeitura. De ninguém, então eles recebem apenas doações pra ficar se. Manter aberto o museu era. Foi construído para ser uma escola e logo anos depois. E a escola tá fechados, tornou o museu.
