"Afro-Brazilian Syncretism"
This museum focuses on the long and tumultuous history between two continents. With the initiation of slavery during the Age of Discovery, these two worlds clashed for the first time. MAFRO aptly displays its collection by theme; the African arrival in the New World, the subsequent turmoil with indigenous peoples and finally the symbiotic relationship between them. Additionally, the museum collection also has artifacts from its proud heritage of religious festivals, Carnival, cuisine and even the popular martial art of Capoeira.
