Rio – A National Afro-Brazilian Culture Museum (Muncab), a longtime dream of the Society of Friends of Afro-Brazilian Culture (Amafro) is now a lot closer to becoming reality. The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) has announced that it will provide financial support for the museum which will be built in Rio de Janeiro. The estimated cost of the Muncab is US$1.9 million (R$5.7 million), of which the BNDES will put up US$78,600 (R$235,000).
The museum would serve an educational purpose by preserving and creating awareness of Negro culture in Brazil, as well as combating racism and discrimination.
