Dom Diogo de Souza Museum

The Dom Diogo de Souza Museum is a history museum in Bagé that houses a collection of two thousand works documenting local and regional history. The building itself belonged to the Portuguese Charitable Society and was adapted for the exhibition.

The museum was founded in the 1950s and established itself as a place to preserve regional memories. It moved later to an established building that served as a fitting home for its growing collection.

The collection displays objects that tell the story of daily life in the region, including weapons from earlier centuries and uniforms worn by military units. These pieces help visitors understand how the area developed over generations.

The museum is easily reached on foot from the city center and sits in a quiet neighborhood. Visitors should note that opening hours differ on weekdays and weekends.

The museum maintains extensive archives with historical photographs and vintage newspaper collections from the region. These materials allow visitors to explore the visual history of Bagé and the surrounding area.
