I now see on this museum's website (below) that there were many more areas  here that we didn't know about (like the old "fairytale"-carriage collection).  Maybe they were closed, being Holy Saturday (before Easter).  And it was a challenge to sift through the 100s of photos to select a sampling for an overall tour of some of the collections we did go through.  I felt it was most important to highlight some of the "slavery and 'making of the country' & its history" information because I never knew any of that about Brazil.  And I figured most who read this don't know either :).  Therefore, you're welcome :)!
