Memorial dos Povos Indígenas

A spiral of two levels under a low white ring, opened in 1987 and also known as the Museu do Índio, holding collections of Indigenous material culture. The ramp means the display is continuous: visitors walk down one turn rather than through rooms. Open Tuesday to Friday 09:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 10:00.
