a great cafe location and a good main display. I guess a theatre night here would be good. The young woman in the shop should showing some interest in her job - but it eas quiet so maybe she was bored

One of the great Brazilian authors. If you like him and know about him, you will love the museum. It is very well displayed and has a nice coffeshop on the lower floor.

I've been a fan since the movie of DOna Flor and here is every memory you could imagine. He used to hang out on the steps in the late 90's telling stories and mixing with the locals and tourists

Each of Amado's books are presented with a synopsis in at least 5 languages, usually quite charmingly stated, and the book covers for each language are as wonderful a representation of book art as can probably be found.
