The Brazilian emperors built Petropolis for its coolness. You can't stay in Petropolis without visiting the Imperial Museum!
The Brazilian emperors had chosen high, inland locations to spend the hot Brazilian summers. They built Petropolis. You can't stay in Petrópolis without visiting the Imperial Museum! The neoclassical building was a country house of the Emperor. After putting on the skates, one passes a dining room with a porcelain and crystal cutlery; a music room with a Chickering with tail on which the regent Isabel used to sway; a spruce tree and a Pleyel harp ; scepters, swords, gold and diamond; vestments embroidered in gold; a chest of porcelain from the Sèvres manufactory; an Order of the Garter offered by Queen Victoria - honored be he who thinks ill of it; velvet cradles, toiletries and paintings. There is also a large and splendid table on which the first Constitution of Brazil was signed, and two crowns: one has no diamonds, the other has six hundred and thirty and weighs 1,700 g. It is the son's crown, from which all the brilliance had been removed from the father's crown. Note the act of abolition of slavery signed by Isabel: Article 1, slavery is abolished; Article 2, any contrary provision is annulled.
We will also look at a family tree, where it appears that not only is Louis XIV the ancestor of Pedro I, but that he is three times the ancestor of Pedro, because the grandson of the Sun King, Philip V of Spain, was also Pedro's grandfather. From Thursday to Saturday, sound and light show at 8pm.
