I visited this museum to pay homage to Cape Verde's most famous person. It is situated in an ordinary house in a side street (not her original house I don't think) and contains personal items such as her dresses, hair curlers, favourite coffee mug and ashtray as well as awards and decorations from her singing career. The story of her life is told in Portuguese, English and (I think) French. There is a very moving film of her funeral procession when all the local musicians accompanied her coffin to the cemetery playing 'Sodade'. Also you can listen to a wide selection of her songs on audio. The museum is excellent value and should be better known. Perhaps they could have more of her CDs on sale, though I did buy one.
