Erico Verissimo Museum, Literary museum in Cruz Alta, Brazil
The Erico Verissimo Museum occupies two floors of the Cultural Center, featuring manuscripts, photographs, personal items, and interactive displays about the Brazilian author.
Built in 1883, the house was purchased by Franklin Verissimo and remained in the family until 1930, when the municipality acquired it to create the museum.
The museum exhibits original typed manuscripts with handwritten notes, notebooks, drawings, correspondence, and photographs documenting Brazilian literature development.
The museum opens Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM, offering guided tours through exhibits that showcase the life of this Brazilian writer.
A large iron gate leads to a garden where a loquat tree stands, marking the spot where Erico Verissimo wrote during his childhood and adolescence.
