00:00 Brazil's National Historical Museum, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary, is presenting
00:07 a special exhibit tracing Rio de Janeiro's transformation in transportation over its
00:13 200 years as the country's capital city.
00:16 Two hundred years ago, the Portuguese royal family moved to Brazil and lived in the coastal
00:22 city of Rio de Janeiro.
00:25 Many of the family's used items had been kept for generations and became part of collections
00:30 in the National Historical Museum of Brazil.
00:33 The museum has over 250,000 pieces of collections, giving an all-round presentation of the social,
00:42 humanistic and cultural development of Brazil from its aboriginal period to the Declaration
00:48 of Independence.
00:50 As the roads in Rio became wider and wider, coaches started to gain popularity in the
00:54 city as they could carry more passengers.
00:58 The museum is now at the forefront of inspiring the next generation with exciting initiatives
01:03 that bring Brazilian history to life.
