Brazil

I had never given Brazil much of a thought, that it, until the other night when we had a video conference with the woman, whose name I can't remember, who represented the Museum of the People, in Brazil.

Now that I think about it, Brazil is a huge country, in population, ethnicity and size. I remember reading somewhere, I think it was BBC News, that a study was done in Brazil about racial origin and what they found was something like 90% of Brazilians are racially mixed - and this represents a diverse history and culture.

So with that in mind, Brazil is probably an ideal place to house a meuseam about people.
