Abílio Barreto History Museum, City history museum in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
The museum occupies a traditional building featuring exhibitions of photographs, artifacts, and documents that chronicle the development of Belo Horizonte through time.
Founded in 1943 by collector Abílio Velho Barreto, the institution began with a collection of documents gathered in 1935 to document the city's history.
The museum displays urban evolution exhibits, social transformations, and local narratives through permanent collections and temporary exhibitions focusing on regional heritage.
