Mission Museum, Historical museum in São Miguel das Missões, Brazil.
The Mission Museum displays religious artifacts and sculptures within a glass-walled pavilion constructed from materials salvaged from the original mission ruins.
Architect Lucio Costa designed the museum in 1937 as part of the first preservation project by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Service.
The collection includes statues and objects that demonstrate the interactions between Jesuit missionaries and indigenous Guarani communities during colonial times.
The museum stands near the Church of São Miguel Arcanjo ruins, allowing visitors to examine both architectural and religious artifacts in one location.
A tornado in 2016 damaged the building and destroyed 83 Jesuit statues, leading to extensive restoration efforts of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
