Museu Willy Zumblick, Art museum in Tubarão, Brazil.
The Willy Zumblick Museum in Tubarão preserves the body of work left by a local painter who worked across different artistic genres. The collection brings together paintings, sculptures, and a series of trophies, medals, and certificates that document his long career.
The museum space was founded in 2000 and honors a painter born in Tubarão in 1913. A German-descended artist named Frederick Wilhelm Lobe influenced his artistic development.
The collection shows works depicting regional folklore, landscapes, and still life subjects that reveal how the artist saw his surroundings. You can also find traditional Brazilian figurehead carvings and caricatures throughout the galleries that capture local stories and everyday moments.
The museum occupies a space in central Tubarão, in Santa Catarina, and its entrance hall is the room where five well-known Tubarão figures were waked. The display is a permanent exhibition, so the 72 paintings, eight sculptures and 115 tributes stay in place between visits. Look for the artist's early working instruments among the pieces.
The display includes the original tools and materials the painter used while working. What stands out is that he started his career as a teenager by designing movie posters.
