Occupying the top floor of a house Dom Pedro II once slept in, the Museu do Paço Imperial displays lamps, portraits, furniture and elegant finery from the imperial period (17th and 18th centuries); it’s tiny but nicely presented. It's free to visit the exhibit downstairs, but you pay to go upstairs.
