Not everyone knows that Brazil sent troops to Italy to fight the Germans there. This museum shows much of the equipment these soldiers were working with, along with some photos of the snowy conditions. Uniforms, weapons, decorations, communication devices, and a few stories. At the entrance there are two artillery guns and a sea mine. The really big equipment is stationed outside, in front of the building, though.

Detailed history of Brazillian participation in the Second World War with lots of artifacts. Free entry. We took just over an hour to cover the rooms. The outside grounds are worth a quick visit too if you are nearby and the museum is closed.

The museum is located near the city center and is easily accessed by bus. However, it does not offer accessibility for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility.

The museum tells an important and little known part of the contemporary history of Brazil. The interested visitor will be able to understand how the country's involvement in World War II (WWII) occurred, as well as the difficulties of the expeditionaries and their victories. It is a cultural and historical visit, particularly for young people who know little about this segment of Brazil's history in the great world wars.…
