Mariano Procópio Museum, History museum in Juiz de Fora, Brazil.
The museum occupies two distinct structures: a historic villa from 1861 and a dedicated exhibition building constructed in 1922.
Mariano Procópio commissioned the Villa Ferreira Lage in 1861 to accommodate Emperor Dom Pedro II during the inauguration of the Uniao e Industria Road.
The collection includes 45,000 items spanning paintings, sculptures, documents, photographs, furniture, silver, armor, coins, clothing, and natural history specimens.
The museum, operated by the Juiz de Fora Municipality, provides guided tours through its exhibitions and maintains educational programs for local schools.
The Villa Ferreira Lage features original stucco decorations and hardwood panels with an elevated construction method using large bricks from the 1860s.
