Museu Cais do Sertao, Recife, State of Pernambuco, Brazil
Inaugurated in 2014, this bold new museum highlights the culture of the sertão, especially as it relates to the godfather of forró music, Luiz Gonzaga, who was a major player not only in bringing the music of the region to national prominence but the culture as well.
The museum is divided into seven spaces (Live, Occupy, Migrate, Believe, Sing, Create and Work) and includes recreations of a typical home; interactive, digital and audiovisual exhibits; a karaoke and mixing room; and, most popular, an instrument room, where you can try your hand at a unwieldy accordion.
