In the month in which it is marked the 50 years of Pedro Freitas Branco's death (1896-1963) one of the greatest Portuguese maestro's, we show a baton used in a military band and two in a orchestra from the Museum's collection. 

As is wasn't possible to find any recording of Pedro de Freitas Branco's performance, we illustrate the baton used by other great master, Herbert von Karajan (1908-1989).
