Mineiro Museum, 19th-century museum in Funcionários district, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

The Mineiro Museum occupies a late 19th-century building in the Funcionários district of Belo Horizonte, erected as the residence of the State Secretary of Agriculture when the capital moved from Ouro Preto. Its collection of 2,600 pieces, grouped in 36 collections from institutions and private owners, includes Minas Gerais sacred art, paintings, documents, furniture, domestic utensils, work and punishment instruments, insignia and arms.

The building served as the seat of the Minas Gerais State Senate from 1905 to 1930. It later functioned as a payroll office before being converted into a museum in 1982.

The museum's name comes from its focus on Minas Gerais: its 2,600 pieces and 36 collections came from public institutions and private donors. Among them are religious pieces, furniture, domestic utensils, personal objects, and instruments of work and punishment, plus insignia and armory. The collection grew out of the state archive created in 1895, whose founding law already called for gathering objects of artistic or historical value.

The museum operates on different days with varying hours and is located centrally in the Funcionários district. The space is fully accessible with ramps and elevators available for visitors with mobility needs.

The building was put up at the end of the 19th century as the residence of the State Secretary of Agriculture, built under the plan of the Commission for the Construction of the New Capital when the seat of government moved from Ouro Preto to Belo Horizonte. From 1905 to 1930 it housed the extinct Minas Gerais Senate, known as the Senadinho.
