This museum of Brazilian history at Praca Tiradentes was at one time a prison.
Reviewed By marcosf293 - Brasilia, Brazil
Museum to think about the Brazilian colonial period, the dominant presence of the Portuguese crown during the gold cycle, and the reactions of sectors of society to the taxes that were charged. The museum discusses customs of the time, the evolution of constructions, artifacts used in mining, the lifestyle, and is dedicated to the thinkers of "Inconfidência Mineira". This movement was formed by representatives of the economic elite of the time, dissatisfied with taxes, who met and talked about libertarian ideals. The rupture with the crown did not happen, since they were denounced as conspirators. Joaquim Silvério dos Reis denounced them, he was a miner who had tax debts, and bargained his debt in exchange for the denunciation of libertarians. Then, after three years of investigation, ten libertarians were sentenced to death, but only one was actually executed: Joaquim José da Silva Xavier ("Tiradentes": the dentist). It is believed that Tiradentes was executed because he was not from a wealthy family, had no education (he was an amateur dentist, merchant, and lieutenants of the imperial cavalry), and also because he assumed his libertarian ideals in interrogations, so he was considered the leader. The rest were expelled to Africa, where they died, and their remains were repatriated in the 1940s. This place arouses many emotions.
