Museu Casa de Cora Coralina, Literary museum at Rio Vermelho riverside, Goiás, Brazil.
The Museu Casa de Cora Coralina is a literary museum housed in a colonial adobe building on the Rio Vermelho riverbank in Goiás. The house preserves her typewriter, photographs, and other mementos from her life and work.
The building dates back to the 18th century and originally served as a collection point for royal taxes under Portuguese rule. Later it became the home and workplace of the poet who lived and wrote there for many years.
The museum honors a local poet whose handwritten verses and personal objects are displayed throughout the rooms. Visitors can see the kitchen where she made traditional sweets, revealing a side of her life beyond writing.
The museum is accessible on weekday afternoons and Sunday mornings and sits right by a bridge crossing the river. Wear sturdy shoes since the old floors can be uneven in places.
The museum displays the poet's verses through multimedia projections spread across multiple rooms, bringing her words to life throughout the space. This approach blends historical surroundings with her contemporary poetry.
