Museu Paulista (do Ipiranga) - Metropolitan City Museum - Sao Paulo

Museu Paulista, also known as Museu do Ipiranga, in São Paulo, was built between 1885 and 1890 as a monument to the proclamation of Brazil's independence from Portugal on September 7, 1822 by prince regent Pedro, who became Dom Pedro I, the first emperor of the new nation. With its historic building, a rich collection spanning four centuries of Brazilian history, gardens inspired in Versailles, and a park, Museu Paulista is one of the Brazil's best loved museums and a must-see for São Paulo visitors.
