This Easter morning at around 10:30 am I was at the museum door with my 9 year old daughter and to our surprise we were informed by some employees that it was closed due to the procession that was taking place. While I explained to my daughter that we couldn't enter for religious reasons, which disappointed her a lot as the main interest was hers, as she is a history buff and she didn't know him yet, employees with uniforms of short-sleeved shirts and blue buttons , apparently the doormen of the place, interrupted me in my conversation with my child and began to harass me with the following words: "go away, it's good that there's one less person to bother you". I argued that I was explaining to my daughter, privately, the reasons and they remained with disdainful words about our visit and made fun of our disappointment in not being able to enter, even in front of other tourists who seemed scared and moved away. I'm from Minas Gerais and I'm very proud of our State and its History, but at the same time I felt ashamed to realize that a heritage of such relevance was placed in the hands of people without any commitment to its grandeur, just like the greatest heritage in Minas Gerais. who are the Mineiros and I include myself here, because without our ancestors none of this would have arisen and no book chapters would have been written. Please take better care of our heritage and our history, I hope my daughter doesn't keep the image of this sad moment of our trip. Our disappointment, which was being handled privately between my daughter and me, cannot be a reason for intrusion and mistreatment by a family man in front of his daughter and in a public environment. Shame.

A disappointment! I planned to return to Black Gold and go to this beautiful museum with friends you didn't know. Dsepesas we had to go on a holiday to see closely part of the Baroque history of Brazil. But we encountered a horrible scenario, covering and "scratching" the entire permanent exhibition, by a "modernist intervention" that was nothing but a protest and more, damaging our observation, since it was a real visual pollution. I couldn't see anything!! This exhibition should never be in these environments. The comments were unanimous among the attendees without understanding that, but few knew they could record their indignation. It stuck completely so I could consume the existing one. Horrible intervention! Unacceptable. My protest of repudiation.

Great opportunity to review and update rich data from the history of Minas and Brazil. Records and memories that form the identity of the Brazilian people and amazing and admirable works of Aleijadinho. Museum is very well cared for and organized and its attendees impeccable in education and posture. Congratulations to the miners for hospitality and care with this wonderful land and people!

Imponent architectural ensemble, dominating Tiradentes Square in Ouro Preto. Good collection of ancient works with emphasis on the period of the Inconfidence.
Unfortunately the observation of these works was hindered by the overlapping of useless and irrelevant things, which pseudo-intellectuals consider art but which are nothing but the instrumentalization of intellectual misery and ignorance as a means of ideological doctrination guided by the class struggle and the differences of melanin as a value in itself, aimed at the taking of power by these people who have little or almost nothing to contribute to a more evolved society

It is an IMPERDIBLE place for those who like history. There are many sections with explanation on the walls. I just regret not having guided tour inside, because I think the experience would be even more enriching. Impossible to stay less than 2 hours in this place.

Museum held as a mandatory stop, in tiradentes square in black gold. On Saturdays it is free. A mix of history and protest, however, does not bring much information about the protest part. It goes by the jacuzzi of Marília de Dirceu and from the room dedicated to Tiradentes.

Large museum with several attractions. What I liked most was the section dedicated to Aleijadinho. Amazing works. The section on Tiradentes is interesting, but really, does anyone believe that the gallows there is the original from the famous case involving the inconfidente?

Museum to think about the Brazilian colonial period, the dominant presence of the Portuguese crown during the gold cycle, and the reactions of sectors of society to the taxes that were charged. The museum discusses customs of the time, the evolution of constructions, artifacts used in mining, the lifestyle, and is dedicated to the thinkers of "Inconfidência Mineira". This movement was formed by representatives of the economic elite of the time, dissatisfied with taxes, who met and talked about libertarian ideals. The rupture with the crown did not happen, since they were denounced as conspirators. Joaquim Silvério dos Reis denounced them, he was a miner who had tax debts, and bargained his debt in exchange for the denunciation of libertarians. Then, after three years of investigation, ten libertarians were sentenced to death, but only one was actually executed: Joaquim José da Silva Xavier ("Tiradentes": the dentist). It is believed that Tiradentes was executed because he was not from a wealthy family, had no education (he was an amateur dentist, merchant, and lieutenants of the imperial cavalry), and also because he assumed his libertarian ideals in interrogations, so he was considered the leader. The rest were expelled to Africa, where they died, and their remains were repatriated in the 1940s. This place arouses many emotions.

This is the best museum of Brasil in terms of value of its contents. The building itself is a beauty. Its contents is well organized and exhibited. Through these pieces the visitor is lectured Brazilian history and, especially, one os its most remarkable and well known episodes: the rising of the "inconfidentes", who defied the royal power and lit the candle of freedom in Brasil.

Whenever my husband and I visit a museum in Europe, we feel a little embarassed to compare how easy it is for us, portuguese speakers, to enjoy the complete experience through very well produced material for audio guides... and how far behind are brazilian museums in terms of that! But the Museum of Betrayal was a glad sight: we saw for the first time the use of audio guides in Brasil! So much more practical and enjoyable... Also I payed close attention to the english version of writen texts, they all seemed well researched and carefully thought, and so It must have been done the same way for the audio guide. Very detailed and illustrated, all kinds of information about Colonial Brazil and the Gold Cycle (specially the history of the insurrection of Tiradentes), beautifully renovated.
