Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It’s a very strange art gallery / expensive hobby collection. There is really no theme or coherence in the place. They were considered by trip advisor the best museum in latin america 6 years ago. Very strange, in Mexico City, Bogotá or even São Paulo you will find better and proper ones.
If you’re european, especially from a big city, is just not worth it.
There was a dutch themed galeria that was consistent, however wrongly trying to re-write history, and surgically removing portugal from the narrative, eventhough they have several paintings from colonial brasil under Portugal, none of which identified.
Then a medieval collection, extensive, for sure not cheap, some spanish coat of arms, and english noble houses. Then a clock collection.. and the swords of an egypt king (!).
The “piece of resistance”, the chappel… built 10 years ago in gothic style from the outside, with spanish barroque on the inside.
The founder was at some moment, the 2nd richer brazilian. I guess he has expensive hobbies, and wanted to show it.
Note: the staff was lovely, helpful, doing their job.

Place with a giant collection, weapons, armor, paintings, engravings, sculptures, porcelain and everything else you can imagine. Entrance costs 50 reais and seniors pay half.
Inside there is a café for a strategic stop, as looking at everything is tiring.
It is quite busy in January and only opens in the afternoon.
Would you go back? I don't think so.

A few nice pieces, but mostly a collection of an extremely wealthy man with a poor eye for art. I honestly left wondering if he was a sociopath. If you're from a city with decent art museums, this is not worth visiting.

The place is beautiful and the Collections are interesting, but the visit was disappointing. I went on a day of unstable weather, when it rained hard and stopped throughout the day, and the place is not prepared for visiting on rainy days. The institute has carriages for transportation, but it is not available to take the visitor to all buildings, only to the chapel. I paid for the visit to the chapel and still gave up because the cart leaves the reception and there is no covered space to wait for the vehicle. In fact, I only visited the Pinacoteca because the rain was heavy to walk up to the gun museum (the gallery was closed).
Taxis and app cars only reach the parking lot, which is before the reception and is also discovered: that is, in case of rain, you get wet anyway, whether to enter, visit or leave. I was wondering as a chairman how I would do this visit.
I felt a lack of signage and a map for the visitor to find all the buildings.
Coffee has ridiculous prices. A slice of roll cake or wedding cake was R$25.00. The restaurant Castellus has a reasonable price with the dishes. The service is also excellent.

Museum, garden, everything is spectacular! The place is beautiful to rest, to have a picnic, to breathe fresh air, to acquire culture and to be impressed. The sculptures are fabulous and the museum pieces are jaw-dropping. Many incredible works, a full day trip to enjoy calmly, to discover, to fantasize and imagine yourself in such an incredible and different past. Impossible not to come back several times.

Incredible tour, a medieval castle, with replicas of works exhibited in various museums around the world. The garden has works of art, with a collection that takes more than an afternoon.
It is among the 20 best museums in the world.
It's worth the guided tour, the museum historian was very attentive. Have a good trip!

Simply incredible! Exceeded my expectations. We arrived around 3pm on Sunday and the entrance and tour were very quiet. Top architecture and well-curated collection. It's so worth it! Worthy of European museums.
Furthermore, the place is well wooded, with milder temperatures.

The artistic collection of Ricardo Brennand is exhibited in environments of exotic medieval architecture. Highlight for many works linked to the history of Pernambuco. In building apart, weapons collection well rated by admirers.

The Ricardo Brennand Institute is known to all northeast people. It is a preserved place, with an immense historical and cultural wealth, surrounded by nature. The castle houses many works of art and is very frequent, even the cafe that works there is quite nice. For those who travel in a couple, it is a place of much knowledge, but also of tranquility, with amazing views.

The best spent R$50.00 of my life. For those who like history and arts, it is a unique place in Brazil after the National Museum caught fire. It should be more publicized. Life-size replicas of famous sculptures such as David and "The Thinker". It's very worth it. Better to take Uber as I don't even know if the bus arrives but Uber isn't expensive.

Olá … o ingresso custa 50,00 (inteira) e 25,00 (meia).
Acredito que não haja restrições a ensaios fotográficos caso todos paguem o valor do ingresso.
Recomendo que seja em dia de semana, por ser mais tranquilo.
