Museu do Tribunal de Justiça, Judicial history museum in downtown São Paulo, Brazil

The Museu do Tribunal de Justiça occupies the Palacete Conde de Sarzedas, a house built between 1891 and 1895 on Rua Conde de Sarzedas, near the Sé metro station. Its ground floor holds the reception, a living room with the house's original furniture, an auditorium and the Núcleo do Júri; the first floor holds the Núcleo da Revolução Constitucionalista de 1932 and the Núcleo da Evolução Administrativa do Tribunal de Justiça, while temporary exhibitions fill the basement.

The Palacete Conde de Sarzedas was built between 1891 and 1895 for deputy Luís de Lorena Rodrigues Ferreira, great-grandson of the 5th Count of Sarzedas, on land of the former Chácara Tabatinguera. After his family left in 1939 it fell into decay; the Fundação Carlos Chagas acquired it, CONPRESP listed it in 2002 and Kruchin Arquitetura restored it between 2003 and 2006. The judicial museum, created in 1995 at the Palácio da Justiça, moved here in 2007.

The museum displays furniture, documents, and artworks reflecting different periods of judicial history. The exhibitions give visitors a sense of how courtrooms and legal practices evolved over time.

Visits are available Monday through Friday between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, with guided tours for groups available by advance reservation. Allow adequate time to explore the different exhibitions and the building's architecture.

The Palácio Conde de Sarzedas features noble wood materials and imported stained glass windows commissioned by deputy Luis de Lorena Rodrigues Ferreira between 1891 and 1895. These craft details make the building itself an integral part of the collection.
