Museu Casa de Rui Barbosa, House museum in Botafogo, Brazil.

The Museu Casa de Rui Barbosa features a collection of 23,000 books, personal belongings, and historic furniture within a neoclassical building in Rio de Janeiro.

The Federal Government purchased the property in 1924, one year after Rui Barbosa's death, and transformed it into Brazil's first public house museum in 1930.

The museum maintains an extensive archive of 60,000 documents that detail Brazilian political and social developments from the late 19th to early 20th centuries.

Located at Rua São Clemente 134, the museum provides guided tours and hosts regular seminars focusing on Brazilian history, literature, and cultural heritage.

The property includes a 6,000-square-meter garden with native Brazilian species and a century-old lychee tree planted by Rui Barbosa himself in 1895.
