Museu Antônio Parreiras, Art museum in Niterói, Brazil.

The Antônio Parreiras Museum spans three buildings, including the artist's former residence, studio, and family houses, surrounded by a 4,000-square-meter garden.

Established on January 21, 1942, this museum became the first art institution in Rio de Janeiro state dedicated to preserving a single artist's legacy.

The museum collection contains over 2,000 items, featuring Parreiras' paintings alongside works from Brazilian and international artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.

The museum operates under the Rio de Janeiro State Arts Foundation management and offers guided tours, lectures, and temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

The main building, designed by architect Ramos de Azevedo in 1894, holds historical importance as one of his notable works in Rio's metropolitan region.
