Joinville Art Museum

The Joinville Art Museum is housed in a brick building on XV de Novembro Street with exhibition rooms spread across multiple spaces. Natural light flows through the rooms, creating conditions to view the collection of Brazilian artworks.

The building was constructed between 1854 and 1864 as the home of Ottokar Doerffel, a German immigrant who established Joinville's first newspaper. His role in the city's early growth made the house significant to local history.

The museum displays works by Brazilian artists such as Lygia Clark and Aldemir Martins, reflecting the country's artistic development. These pieces attract visitors interested in both contemporary and classical art forms.

The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday, allowing time to explore the exhibitions at your own pace. Group tours can be arranged in advance for those who want deeper insights into the displayed artworks.

The museum houses the Harry Laus Library containing more than 2,000 volumes focused on art research and documentation. This collection serves as a valuable resource for deeper studies into art history and Brazilian artistic traditions.
