Love it, to much History from USP a lot of places to visit, also beacuse you need to walk inside USP. The best part was the life of the reptiles and there was a big frog :) love it.
This is a small exhibition space but well designed and follows a logical and chronological order for understanding microbiology through the last centuries. There are microscopes you can use to view difficult organisms, viruses and blood samples. There are well written English translations for almost all of the stations. The space is really nice for kids as well and its free!
The exposition is very interesting but the Serpentario and the biggest part of the reptil collection are close for maintenance.
Unfortunately there wasn't any notice of that.

Most of the exhibits were closed, pretty disappointing.
Interessanter Besuch im Butantan-Institut
Nice place to walk and know much more about biology and microbiology. There are some museums which have a lot of alive snakes (anacondas wait for you!) , spiders, lizards, frogs and so on. Once you pay R$ 6,00 (or less: elders, students, children) you can visit all. Near by Butantã subway station.
