Museu Antônio Parreiras, Art museum in Niterói, Brazil.
Museu Antônio Parreiras occupies three buildings on Rua Tiradentes in the Ingá district of Niterói: the painter's 1894 residence, designed by Ramos de Azevedo; his studio, built in 1912; and his daughter Olga's house, now the technical reserve. The 4,000 m² garden was designed and planted by Parreiras himself.
The museum opened on 21 January 1942 in the house, studio and family residences of painter Antônio Parreiras (1860–1937). The main house was built in 1894 to a design by Ramos de Azevedo, the São Paulo architect known for eclectic buildings. Parreiras's studio was added in 1912, and IPHAN listed the complex in 1967, garden included.
The museum preserves the work of one of Brazil's most important artists from the 19th century in his original home and studio spaces. Visitors see how this artist lived and worked, surrounded by pieces from different artistic periods.
