Museu de Arte Sacra do Estado de Alagoas

The museum occupies a former convent building and displays approximately 500 religious artifacts, including sculptures, paintings, silverware, and liturgical ornaments from different periods.

Established in 1984, the museum inherited the collection from the former Dom Ranulfo Museum of Maceió and preserves items dating from the 17th to 19th centuries.

The museum collection demonstrates the influence of Portuguese religious traditions through ceremonial objects, documents, and photographs that represent regional Catholic practices.

The institution maintains a specialized library covering religious art history and museology topics, offering educational programs and guided tours for visitors.

The building itself, constructed between 1684 and 1723, represents Brazilian colonial architecture and received official heritage protection status in 1964.
