Frommer's Review

The only noteworthy museum in Natal covers the natural history and anthropology of the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The displays are well-done reproductions, many of which you can touch. See the original jangada rafts made by local fishermen and walk through a fisherman's hut. Visit reproductions of Rio Grande do Norte's archaeological sites, and descend in a cave to see how these digs are carried out. Delve into a life-size salt mine. A few displays are dusty academic leftovers, including glass cases with artifacts from African religions. There are no English signs, but the displays are often self-explanatory and great for kids. Expect to spend 1 hour.
