Instituto Ricardo Brennand

The Ricardo Brennand Institute contains over 7,000 artworks displayed within a medieval-style castle building surrounded by gardens and water features.

The museum, established in 2002 by collector Ricardo Brennand, holds artifacts from medieval Europe and works from the Dutch colonization period in Brazil.

The institute maintains the largest private collection of Frans Post paintings, alongside European tapestries, sculptures, and decorative arts from multiple periods.

Visitors receive guided tours through the exhibitions, with discounted entry fees for students and teachers, while children under 6 enter without charge.

The medieval architecture complex includes three buildings housing the museum, pinacotheca, and library, connected by bridges over artificial lakes.
