Ipiranga Museum

Ipiranga Museum

                Another place on the list of places to visit for our class was Ipiranga Museum. The museum is entrance is called Independence Park. The place is beautiful. Directly in front there is a monument built in honor of the Brazilian’s independence. After passing the statues and bowl of fire, we walked up the huge sidewalk to see many people long boarding down the hill. I could tell they were serious just by looking at all the protective gear they were wearing. Continuing up the hill, the museum is in plain sight. It reminds me of a renaissance house with lush green gardens and reflection pools to greet you as you walk up to the front door. I would not mind having a house like that and I don’t think anyone would unless you had to clean it all alone. Behind the museum is a park for people to run under the shade of trees, along with small playgrounds for the children. Adriel and I walked up to the museum to enter when we received the information that it closed a little while before we arrived. I still consider the trip a success through the cool pictures we were able to take and the beauty we were able to see.
