Museu do Escravo, Slavery museum in Belo Vale, Brazil
The museum displays over 4,000 historical artifacts, including domestic utensils, silver items, and documents from the slavery abolition period in Brazil.
Founded in 1977 and relocated in 1988 to commemorate 100 years of slavery abolition, the museum occupies a colonial-style building from the 18th century.
The exhibition presents African and indigenous slave history through punishment instruments, religious art pieces, and a tomb containing unidentified slave remains.
The museum features six rooms representing the main house and a U-shaped construction in the back depicting slave quarters with pillory reproduction.
This institution stands as the most extensive slavery museum in Latin America and remains the only Brazilian museum fully dedicated to slavery.
