Cabangu
There are three versions for the meaning of the word "Cabangu":[2]
- The first, somewhat folkloric, comes from the transformation of the phrase "The angu is over" (in Portuguese: Acabou o angu), used by the old residents at the time of the construction of the railroad in the region, that with the passage of time became Cabangu.
- The second, would be a place where, at the time of the Inconfidência Mineira, a caboclo lived with the surname "Cabangu".
- The third, whose etymology would originate in the Tupi-Guarani, name of the beginning of the Mantiqueira region: "Caa (woods) / bangu (dark).
Financial problems
The Museum has been suffering from lack of cash, labor debts and inability to maintain and restore content. The institution even tried to make crowdfunding, but has been closed a few times for lack of funds.[3][4]
