Museu do Tribunal de Justiça, Judicial history museum in downtown São Paulo, Brazil
The Museu do Tribunal de Justiça is a judicial museum housed in the Palácio Conde de Sarzedas in downtown São Paulo, displaying legal documents, historical artifacts, and multimedia exhibitions about Brazilian legal history. The collection spans multiple periods and documents the evolution of judicial institutions.
The museum was established in 1995 at the Palácio da Justiça and relocated in 2007 to this 19th-century building on Conde de Sarzedas Street. The move allowed the growing collection to be housed in a historically significant structure.
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.
