Ernesto Frederico Scheffel Foundation, Art museum in Hamburgo Velho district, Novo Hamburgo, Brazil.
The Ernesto Frederico Scheffel Foundation is an art museum in Novo Hamburgo housed in a neoclassical building with three floors. The collection spans paintings, drawings, sculptures, and musical scores from different artists.
The building was constructed in 1890 by Adão Adolfo Schmitt as a residential property. Over time it served as a cultural venue, commercial space, and hospital before becoming an art museum.
The foundation bears the name of a local art patron whose personal collection forms the heart of the institution. The rooms reflect the artistic passion that was gathered over many decades.
The museum is open during weekdays and weekends with varying hours, so checking the schedule ahead of your visit is advisable. Allow time to explore both the collections inside and the neoclassical architecture of the building itself.
The institution holds one of the largest collections worldwide dedicated to works by a single artist, making it distinctive among art museums. This focus on one artist's body of work gives visitors deep insight into a creative journey across different mediums.
