The best Museum in Pelourinho.
Aug 2019
Inmersing yourself in the huge array of culture, art and social tragedy that this place represents, it's surely one of the greatests spots to any Salvador visit.
Our guide was kind and attentive and did almost a one and half hour visit, just for both of us, explaining in a very detailed manner all aspects of the particular collection of objetcs that you can find inside.

Very interesting story about first hospital in brazil
Dec 2019
Worth visit! There is a small ticket price for a big experience! Things are all original, there is almost no replicas, so you see the true things. The view to the lower city and ocean from this place is amazing. Also, you can see the City's elevator and the Model Market. If you want to spend some time indoor to avoid the hot outside, this is the right place! You will only spend between 40mins to 1 hour in this place, but its a good one. There is English, Spanish and Portuguese tour guides included in the entrance ticket fee.

Excellent and knowledgeable English Speaking Guide
Dec 2019 • Couples
We visited the Misercordia Museum and were pleasantly surprised to be escorted around by Andriano. He was able to explain the history of this museum in English explicitly. A enjoyable tour that cost 10 reals.

Interesting Museum in 17th Century Building
Nov 2019
This museum was very well done and not well publicized..There is an entrance fee of Real 10 ( Real 5 for people over 60) and a free guide service.The tour takes you through a 17th century building , once a hospital that contains a church and various other items of interest. The group behind the activity date back to 1569 when the Portuguese first landed in Salavador. Well worth a visit. You will find it half way between the Cathedral and the Elevator to the lower town.

Nice museum with helpful curators
Sep 2019 • Solo
It was the best museum in Salvador. I only paid entrance fee, and the curator?(I dont know what is the exact word of her job) Valdiniea helped me so much. She explained me all the history and some secrets of the display. I really enjoyed talking with her since she answered all my questions, even with specific dates and knowledges.
Must visit if you are a museum lover!

Incredibly Educational Experience
Aug 2019
I visited this Museum for some historical research on Bahia. Great price and great tour! I was especially fortunate to have Valdineia Lima as my tour guide. She provided an incredibly insightful perspective that I wouldn't have been able to get otherwise.

A great piece of alternative history
Aug 2019 • Couples
The interior of this building is truly
beautiful and the view from its open air staircase along the shoreline must be one of the most magnificent in Salvador. What makes a visit really interesting though is the building’s original history. The knowledgeable (and free) individual guided tour by charming guide Valdinéia Lima in English and Spanish made all the difference.

Was surprised :)
Jun 2019 • Solo
For the foreigners there is a excursion at 2-30 with no additional fare. Without the explanation it can be difficult to understand the museum items. The guide is very good lady. She not only talked about the museum but also about the life in Salvador. It was interesting! The museum itself not really big and don't look like a museum in Europe. It's just a building with interier and some related goods.
