Museo Etnográfico Casa de las Azores, Ethnographic museum in Biguaçu, Brazil.
The Casa dos Açores museum occupies a 19th-century townhouse situated 20 kilometers from Florianópolis, displaying furniture, clothing, and artifacts from Azorean settlers.
Built in the first half of the 18th century by farmer João Ramalho da Silva Pereira, the building became a museum in 1979 after acquisition by Santa Catarina's government.
The museum maintains a specialized library containing books from the Azores government, historical documents, handicrafts, and traditional folklore costumes from the archipelago.
Located at BR 101 km 189 in Balneário de São Miguel, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM with a lunch break, offering free admission.
The museum forms part of a Portuguese-Azorean complex including Saint Michael the Archangel Church, an old aqueduct, a farm, and a lithic workshop.
