I confess, to my shame, that I have only now discovered this great place. Well, I had been to the zoo already but not really to the park or the museum.
The museum (Museu Nacional) is now a museum of natural history, though it used to be the palace of the Portuguese king Dom Joao VI and the home of our emperor's.
Unfortunately none of the rooms is furnished to show the splendor of the court (to see that you would have to go to Petropolis), On the right is the ceiling of the throne room.
There are plenty of dinosaurs, meteorites and indian scenes to enjoy.
The surrounding park is beautiful as well. However, the sign below tells you specifically that it is forbidden to wash your clothes in the lake.

"forbidden to wash your clothes in the lake."
Some may say "what???"
Some may say "pity".
This is a bizarre (lack of) cultural statement , isn´t it?
