One fine day after classes, we decided to take a field trip to the Museu do Estado de Pernambuco. While there we had a guide that would go through and explain each of the different pieces of artwork that we saw and I would write about what he said but to be quite honest I could barely understand him because he spoke so fast and had such a thick accent. What I did learn based on my observations is how the African culture influenced Brazil. He also talked about how the African culture and religion sometimes is viewed is a negative thing. Then he talked a bit about the Indian culture in Brazil as well. I would have taken pictures of the art but it was not allowed unfortunately. Here are pictures of the surroundings as well the building itself.
