ROOTS OF BRAZIL


The Football Museum is a place where you can Brazilianize yourself. Hence the Roots Room: football is as significant to the history of Brazil in the 20th century as all other forms of expression in the visual arts, music, thought, and poetry—Leônidas da Silva’s bicycle kick, Tarsila’s painting, Drummond’s poem. In the 1930s, we came to have a common language; the Golden Age of Radio united Brazil in voice, song, and echo of the supporters.
