Sertão Museum, Regional heritage museum at State University of Feira de Santana, Brazil.

The Sertão Museum exhibits over 1,000 artifacts crafted from leather, ceramic, metal, wood, and fibers, illustrating the regional traditions of northeastern Brazil.

Established in 1978, the museum underwent a major expansion in 1995, increasing its exhibition space from 212 to 708 square meters to accommodate growing collections.

The museum presents educational displays about local fauna and flora, including taxidermied animals that represent the biodiversity of Feira de Santana region.

The facility maintains matrices of xylography and documents that detail the agricultural practices and social customs of Brazil's semi-arid Sertão region.
