The Museu do Ingá occupies a 19th-century building with high ceilings, ornate windows, and architectural details from the colonial era. Inside are regional artworks, historical photographs, and documents that document the development of the area.
The museum was established in 1945 to preserve documents and objects related to the region's development. Since its opening, it has collected and displayed materials that document how the area transformed over the decades.
The museum displays regional artworks and historical documents that tell stories about how Niterói developed and changed over time. The collections show how people lived, worked, and expressed themselves through art and preserved records that visitors can still see today.
