Lonely Planet review for Museu Hansen Bahia
The Museu Hansen Bahia occupies the birthplace and former home of Brazilian heroine Ana Nery, who organized the nursing corps during the Paraguay War. Today, it houses the work of German-Brazilian artist Hansen Bahia. Among his powerful block prints and paintings on the theme of human suffering, depicting primarily prostitutes and Christ, is a series of illustrations of Castro Alves’ poem Návio Negreiro (Slave Ship).
