Museums in Brazil
There is a magnificent museum in Rio de Janeiro called the "Museum of Tomorrow". This museum is known to have had exhibits of or about Alberto Santos-Dumont. Santos-Dumont's home in Petroplis is also a very fine museum.
Rio: Museum of Tomorrow
Brazil is the home of Alberto Santos-Dumont, so one could expect that a display recognizing a native son would be present at all times at this museum though I was unable to confirm it. As with most all modern museums, the emphasis is not history, rather the emphasis is typically only on the "modern" hands-on displays to bring in paying guests. It is not unusual in modern museums to find airships completely neglected to make room for the "glitz and glamor" displays.

Petroplis: Home of Alberto Santos-Dumont
The home of Alberto Santos-Dumont has long been a museum. Though not an "airship museum", or a history museum with an airship exhibit or two, it is the home of Alberto Santos-Dumont!
