Casa do Rio Vermelho, Literary museum in Rio Vermelho district, Salvador, Brazil
Casa do Rio Vermelho displays personal belongings, artworks, and memorabilia in the preserved residence of writers Jorge Amado and Zelia Gattai.
The house, purchased in 1960, served as a meeting point for intellectuals including Pablo Neruda, Tom Jobim, and Jean-Paul Sartre over four decades.
The museum exhibits 30 hours of video content, original manuscripts, and correspondence that document Brazilian literary movements of the 20th century.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours and wheelchair accessibility for visitors.
The 2000-square-meter garden contains the ashes of both writers, protected by an Exu symbol that represents their connection to Candomble traditions.
