Museu Zoroastro Artiaga

The Museu Zoroastro Artiaga is a museum in Goiânia housing more than four thousand objects, including indigenous items, sacred art, minerals, and regional historical documents across a two-story building. The collection spans both levels with exhibition halls on the ground floor and administrative areas upstairs.

This museum was founded in 1946, with its initial collections coming from the Permanent Exhibition of Goiás, which had been housed at the Technical School of Goiás starting in 1942. The institution developed from this earlier collection into a significant regional museum.

The museum displays regional clothing, native bird dioramas, and indigenous artifacts that reflect how people in central Brazil lived and used their surroundings. Visitors can see everyday objects and traditional items that shaped daily life in this part of the country.

The museum is located at Praça Cívica in downtown Goiânia and is therefore easy to find. Visitors can explore the exhibition halls and book guided tours to learn more about the collections.

The museum keeps an audio collection of more than one thousand 78 rpm records that document the musical history of Goiás state. This rare collection tells the region's sonic past through preserved recordings.
