Pinacoteca Benedito Calixto, Art museum in Santos, Brazil
Pinacoteca Benedito Calixto is an art museum located in a historic mansion in Santos that once served the coffee trading community. The building holds over two hundred paintings, including works that showcase Brazilian landscapes and portraits from different periods.
The building dates from when Santos was a major center for coffee trading, and received protected status in 2012. It is one of the few remaining mansions from that prosperous era in the city.
The museum shows works that reflect how Brazilian artists saw their land and people over time. Visitors experience how these paintings connect to the stories and traditions of the region.
The museum is located in the Boqueirão neighborhood and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Visitors should allow enough time to explore both the collection and the architecture of the mansion.
The museum uses augmented reality and 360-degree virtual tours to offer visitors new ways to explore the artworks. These digital tools create interactive experiences that blend the paintings with the story of the historic building itself.
