Museum of Sacred Art in Santos, Religious art museum in Santos, Brazil.
The Museum of Sacred Art in Santos contains over 600 religious pieces including sculptures, paintings, liturgical objects, and vestments dating from 1560 to 1900.
The museum opened in 1981 within a Benedictine architectural complex that includes Nossa Senhora do Desterro Church and the former São Bento Monastery from 1630.
