Anchieta Museum, Historical museum in central São Paulo, Brazil

The Anchieta Museum contains 700 objects distributed across six exhibition rooms, including religious art pieces from the 16th to 20th centuries.

The museum building stands on the exact location where Jesuits Manuel da Nóbrega and José de Anchieta established São Paulo's first chapel in 1554.

This institution preserves indigenous artifacts, religious sculptures, and a collection of watercolors depicting São Paulo's early development through different historical periods.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM, Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with guided tours for groups of nine visitors.

The museum displays original 16th-century rammed earth walls constructed with whale oil, representing the oldest remaining structure in São Paulo.
