Former PM building, it has several exhibits in the same location. The archeology exhibition is very limited, mostly presenting only ceramic fragments and information about the archaeological activity itself. The PM museum is very complete and portrays everything from the institution's origins in the historical context of Empire Brazil, through its participation in war, and up to the present day. The collection contains period weapons, uniforms and medals, the place is well presented and interesting. There was also an exhibition by a local artist from Manaus, with beautiful pieces, but I believe it was a temporary exhibition. Finally, the art gallery had a reasonable variety of works on display, but with little information about the items, I felt the lack of a guide in this exhibition. The place has parking, is air-conditioned in some rooms and has a cafe inside the building. It's definitely worth the visit.

The style of architecture very beautiful, all very organized especially in the pinacoteca where in many beautiful paintings. In my opinion it is worth visiting, especially if it is with a Guide, because it is much better to visit the palace being inside the history of each museum, each painting, etc. It is a place that carries much of the history and culture of Manaus and the Amazonas.

Now a multi-sectioned museum beautifully restored where a local docent guides you through the sections you explore. A young Brazilian, who spoke English, provided an exceptional historical overview of the Palace. He discreetly shared insights into general Brazilian development and how 20-somethings perceive political changes. The 2014 World Cup cartoons from cartoonists around the word were hilarious! The 3-room exhibit of world coins, dating to 1400 B.C., was truly phenomenal and the docent very knowledgable! I enjoyed the room of photography equipment dating to Brazil's Civil War. Sadly time prevented me from viewing other exhibits-military and paintings.

Entrance to the museum is free, you just need to sign up on the guest list at the entrance.

There are several permanent exhibitions - archaeological, numismatic, military, painting, etc. The largest are probably the military and numismatic.

Personally, the small resources of the museum, mainly replicas, did not impress me. There are lots of information boards, probably useful, but only if you know Portuguese. No information in English.

This lovely building has been restored and is now the site of 5 museums: Numismatic Museum, Tiradentes Museum, Amazonas Art Gallery (Pinacoteca), Museum of Image and Sound, and Sculptures Museum. I've visited three of them. Concerning the Amazonas Art Gallery, I enjoyed some paintings and artists, but was disappointed by the fact they don't allow visitors to take pictures of the paintings nor have books or catalogs about their art collection that I could buy. Also, only a very small part of the collection is being exhibited, due to the limited space.
The Sculptures Museum presents basically copies of some famous sculptures.
Tiradentes Museum presents the reconstruction of some historical rooms with nice furniture, tapestry, paintings and other objects, some of them bought in Europe.

In the middle of the teeming city of Manaus a beautiful palace appears, all pink and lovely and historic. The cool interior offers respite from the heat, and a bevy of english (sort of) speaking students will guide you from one room to another, each one containing or explaining another aspect of Brazil's tumultuous 500 years of history. And probably the best coin collection you will ever see. Don't miss this palace when you visit Manaus.

I did not go inside, nor either know if you can; my main interest was to admire Manaus old town architecture, which is so gorgeous. And this one is for sure a beautiful one to see.

This museum presents exhibits showing the history of Manaus and the Amazon area.
It's perhaps a good attempt to familiarize people about the area which has a rich history. But it needs to be developed further.

I found this set of museums to be a bit of a mixed bag - the art was good, as was the camera section, but I was less taken by the history of the police. It's worth a wander round though - free, another example of period architecture, and there's a useful and friendly cafe on the ground floor.
