Casa do Carnaval da Bahia

The story of Salvador's world-famous Carnaval is told through wonderfully evocative archival video and photographs at this museum which opened in 2018. Even just walking through the museum with its explosions of color and displays of musical instruments and folk-art statues is worth the trip. Downstairs you'll find an excellent gift shop.

Audio guides are available in English.
