Museu de Arte e de Cultura Popular

The Museu de Arte e de Cultura Popular exhibits numerous regional artifacts, traditional crafts, and contemporary artworks representing the diverse cultural heritage of Mato Grosso state.

Founded in 1974, the museum emerged during a period of cultural preservation initiatives aimed at documenting and protecting the artistic expressions of local communities.

The museum maintains collections of folk art, textiles, and handmade objects that represent the traditions of indigenous, African, and European descendants in the region.

The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages, educational programs for schools, and special exhibitions that rotate throughout different sections of the building.

Researchers at the museum document and preserve traditional craft techniques through partnerships with local artisans who demonstrate their skills during special workshops.
