Lonely Planet review

Housed in a century-old building, the modest museum is dedicated to the memory of Brazil's greatest classical composer - and founder of the Brazilian Academy of Music - Heitor Villa-Lobos. In addition to scores, musical instruments - including the piano on which he composed - and personal items, the museum contains an extensive sound archive. Classical concerts are sometimes held in the adjoining courtyard.
