Solar Ferrão, Art museum in Pelourinho, Salvador, Brazil.
The Solar Ferrão spans six floors in a colonial building, featuring multiple exhibition spaces and galleries dedicated to Brazilian artistic expressions.
The structure served as the residence of the Maciel family until 1756, when it was converted into a Jesuit seminary before Pedro Ferrão acquired it in 1793.
The museum houses four distinct collections focusing on African art, folk art, musical instruments, and the Walter Smetak experimental music collection.
Located at Rua Maciel de Baixo 43, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Friday between 12:00 and 18:00, and weekends from 12:00 to 17:00.
The building represents one of the largest colonial residences in Pelourinho, combining architectural heritage with contemporary art exhibitions and cultural preservation.
