Museu do Expedicionário

Noneya: A must do for any history or WW2 buff. Wonderfully curated and laid out and most things had tags in English as well, so that was a plus for me. It was an amazing way to spend a few hours and it’s free, so don’t miss it!

Donnie Morard: A great experience that is easily accessible to people both without much knowledge of WW2 and those who are history buffs. The museum has most placards in English and Portuguese. There are some placards that are only in Portuguese but I think they are trying to improve this. The museum highlights not only Brazil's involvement in the war but gives a nice summary of WWII overall. Not large but if you have time check it out, there is something there for everyone

JR: Entrance-free small museum with a few relics from WW2 and Brazilian participation in the conflict. Descriptions in Portuguese & English. Don’t expect a great museum structure but a small building taken care as best as possible by the army, with low maintenance budget.

Alejandro Mazzei Capote: The museum is a great opportunity to learn about a part of the history of Brazil during the Second World War. Besides the great torpedo, tank and airplane at the entrance, it is full of photographs, weapons, ammunition, medals and archives relating to the "Força Expedicionária Brasileira" (the Brazilian Expeditionary Force) that participated in the Allied Italian Campaign. The entrance is free of charge and they are open every day of the week but Monday, in which they close for maintenance. I recommend it!

Don Moore: Excellent museum about Brazil's participation in World War II. The first sections tell of Nazi submarine warfare off the coast and of the Brazilian Navy's response. Another section tells of the Brazilan Air Force and the many pilots who fought in the Italian campaign. And, of course, there are several rooms all about the BEF, its training, and its campaigns in Italy. There are even sections on auxiliary functions such as nursing and engineers. This museum obviously doesn't have a large budget but they do a very good job of telling the story. I've visited many military museums and this one is as good as any. BTW, almost all of the explanations are in both Portuguese and English.
