Sertão Museum

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

The Sertao Museum is a collection housed on the campus of Feira de Santana State University that exhibits handcrafted objects made from leather, ceramics, metal, wood, and fibers. The galleries show how people in this semi-arid region made their tools, clothing, and household items.

The museum opened on 30 June 1978 in a building erected by the Lions Clube de Feira de Santana, which later donated it to the Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana. A renovation carried out between 1995 and 1996 tripled the built area, from 212.72 to 708.46 square metres. It is part of the Centro de Estudos Feirenses, the body responsible for studying the municipality's history.

The museum displays traditional objects from everyday life in the semi-arid region, reflecting how people adapted their crafts and habits to the local environment. These items show how handmade goods and practical tools shaped the cultural identity of the area.

The museum is located on Avenida Transnordestina near BR 116 Norte and is open Monday through Friday. Guided tours are available to help visitors understand the full scope of the collection.

Since 2019 the museum has housed the Anjuká centre, which documents the indigenous peoples of northeast Brazil, including the Tuxá, Pankararú, Kaimbé and Truká. Its name comes from Dzubukuá, a Kariri language, and is one of the names for the jurema tree, used in rituals.
