Known for his love of art, the Pernambuco businessman Ricardo Brennand will exhibit the objects in his collection having to do with the Dutch period of the 17th century in Brazil. They include 13 paintings by Frans Post, Caspar Barlaeus’s book on Brazil and 225 other objects of national art and craft.

O acervo conta, ainda, com duas tapeçarias de manufatura Gobelin, feitas a partir de desenhos de Eckhout oferecidos por Nassau a Luiz XIV, em 1678, além de adagas, espadas, clavas e outras armas que, pela primeira vez, são expostas fora da sede do instituto.
