Museu Aleijadinho, Sacred art museum in the Antonio Dias district, Ouro Preto, Brazil
The Aleijadinho Museum displays religious sculptures, crucifixes, and artifacts within the Nossa Senhora da Conceicao church building in Ouro Preto.
Established in 1968 by parish priest Francisco Barroso Filho, the museum preserves sacred artworks and documents belonging to the Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Parish.
The museum forms part of a circuit connecting three historical churches in Ouro Preto, presenting religious art from colonial Brazilian periods.
One admission ticket grants access to the museum and three churches: Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Sanctuary, Sao Francisco de Assis, and Nossa Senhora das Merces.
The museum collection features original works by Antonio Francisco Lisboa, an 18th-century Brazilian sculptor who created art despite physical limitations affecting his hands.
