Ernesto Frederico Scheffel Foundation, Art museum in Hamburgo Velho district, Novo Hamburgo, Brazil.

The Ernesto Frederico Scheffel Foundation occupies a neoclassical building from 1890 in the Hamburgo Velho neighbourhood of Novo Hamburgo. Across three floors it displays more than 400 works by Ernesto Frederico Scheffel alone: paintings, sculptures, drawings and musical scores, arranged by the phases of his career.

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 museum is named after Ernesto Frederico Scheffel, the artist whose work fills its three floors. The building in Hamburgo Velho, the old quarter, was erected in 1890 by Adão Adolfo Schmitt and later restored by the municipal government. Its rooms hold more than 400 works by Scheffel, shown by phase.

The building stands in the Hamburgo Velho neighbourhood, in the three floors restored by the municipal government. The collection is spread across these floors by phase of Ernesto Frederico Scheffel's career, so plan the visit floor by floor. The house has served as a residence, an events venue, a commercial house and even a hospital, so its rooms differ in shape and size.

The house at the museum's address had several lives before housing the collection: it served as a residence, a venue for cultural events, a commercial house and even a hospital. The building was restored by the municipal government, and today it displays more than 400 works by Ernesto Frederico Scheffel.
