Coffee Museum, Coffee history museum in Santos, Brazil.
The Coffee Museum occupies a large building with multiple rooms and display spaces dedicated to coffee production and trade history. Inside, visitors find a documentation center with coffee-related books and a café where they can taste different brews.
The building opened in 1922 as the Coffee Exchange where traders negotiated prices daily until 1960. This institution was central to the city's economy because it controlled business in Brazil's most important export at the time.
The Trading Hall displays handcrafted furniture and murals that depict how the city transformed over centuries. These artworks tell the story of Santos as a trade hub and show how local people saw their city's growth and economic importance.
The museum is easy to walk through and the displays are well organized, making it simple for visitors to navigate without confusion. The café provides a good place to rest during your visit and taste different coffee varieties.
The 40-meter clock tower features four sculpted figures representing agriculture, commerce, industry, and navigation. These sculptures once served as signals to call traders to the exchange during business hours.
