One of the distinctive museums of the city of Salvador is the Pierre Verger Foundation Museum, which reflects a great cultural heritage. At the end of the eighties, Pierre Verger established this institution that bears his name, inspired by his great admiration for Bahia and the Gulf of Benin, and he has highlighted this common heritage, presenting what he knows about Benin and Nigeria to Bahia and informing these countries of their cultural influences! Today, the museum houses valuable collections of clothing and heritage artifacts that depict a complete history of those countries!
