The sights from the Riachuelo that gave the artist the opportunity of seeing the changes of its tides and the departures and arrivals of ships in the harbour. His little room is still there, furnished in the same way as when he lived there, with his personal items and the little decoration that show his humble way of living. There are also objects, pictures and testimonies that allow to reconstruct a great part of his life.
