Fundação Pierre Verger, Biographical museum in Salvador, Brazil
The Fundação Pierre Verger maintains an archive of 62,000 photographic negatives documenting African and Afro-Brazilian cultural connections through detailed anthropological studies.
Established in 1988, the foundation occupies the former residence of French photographer Pierre Verger, who arrived in Salvador in 1946 and dedicated his life to documenting local traditions.
The foundation exhibits rotating collections of photographs capturing ceremonies, daily life, and traditions between Bahia and the Bight of Benin regions.
The museum includes Pierre Verger's bedroom, personal library, and photo collection, with guided tours available for visitors interested in exploring his extensive research materials.
The foundation distributes photographic prints to African Religious Temples, creating direct connections between institutional collections and contemporary sacred spaces.
