Translation notes

Alright, I've just translated this whole article from scratch from the Portuguese Wikipedia (it's a featured article there, and I'd like to make it one here.) I have left out some specific parts from the Pt. version that I thought were POV, overly redundant or generally unencyclopedic. I have not changed the order of the "internal spaces" section, but I wonder if it should be changed... I don't know if the sections are in order of the progress through the museum or not.

Other notes:

Gilberto Gil's statement seems redundant, but I can't find a way around the fact that he repeated himself, unless I have misinterpreted the passage somehow. The quotes should probably be looked at by someone else who understnads Portuguese for maximum clarity.
The Portuguese article seems overly eager to credit anyone who has had any part in developing or running the museum... I have only included authors, musicians, professors, etc. that would deserve Wikipedia articles on their own (if it's still to much, feel free to remove some names.)
Overall, I think the Portuguese article is too favorably POV (and why not?) I have balanced this out... Still, I wonder if this article couldn't support some sort of "criticism" section (there is a somewhat critical review of it in the external links.)

If you spot any problems or inconsistencies, help fix it. I'd like to get this to featured status. Thanks! Grand master ka 20:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Funding?

I came here to find out if it's a national museum? state museum? city museum? private museum? Basically, who funds, manages, and runs it? It sounds like a federal kind of thing, based on the name, but most federal kinds of things are in RJ or DF. Sorry--just couldn't find it in the article, and thought that others might have the same question. --71.178.217.251 (talk) 01:25, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
