Ipiranga Museum

The Museu Paulista of the University of São Paulo, commonly known as Museu do Ipiranga, is a Brazilian history museum located near the place where Emperor Pedro I is stated to have proclaimed Brazil's independence on the banks of the Ipiranga Brook, located in the Southeast region of the city of São Paulo — then known as the "Caminho do Mar" — or "road to the seashore". It contains a huge collection of furniture, documents and historically relevant artwork, especially relating to the Brazilian Empire era.
