Museu de Arte Pierre Chalita, Art museum in central Maceió, Brazil.

The Museu de Arte Pierre Chalita occupies an 800-square-metre former mansion on Praça Floriano Peixoto, in central Maceió, and serves as headquarters of the Fundação Pierre Chalita. Its rooms hold part of the painter's private collection: paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and decorative objects from Brazil and other countries, dated between the 17th and 20th centuries, with a large group of religious art.

The museum was created on 19 May 1980 by the painter and collector Pierre Chalita, initially under the name Museu de Arte Sacra, to preserve and show his collection. It is run by the Fundação Pierre Chalita and occupies an 800 m² mansion on Praça Floriano Peixoto, part of the Martírios architectural ensemble listed by Alagoas state in March 2000. In September 2006 armed intruders stole artworks, jewels and 3,000 reais; the works were not recovered.

The museum keeps part of the 2,270 works of the Pierre Chalita Foundation, with a large nucleus of Baroque colonial sacred art: religious statuary and liturgical vessels, including an altar from Paraíba. There are also works by modernists João Câmara, Alfredo Volpi and Carlos Scliar, and by Alagoan artists Lourenço Peixoto, Rosalvo Ribeiro, Fernando Lopes and Vicente Ferreira de Lima, plus pieces by Pierre Chalita and his wife Solange.

The museum occupies an 800-square-metre 19th-century townhouse on Praça Floriano Peixoto in central Maceió, sharing the building with the Pierre Chalita Foundation. It forms part of the conjunto arquitetônico dos Martírios, listed by Alagoas state heritage in March 2000, together with the Museu Palácio Floriano Peixoto and the former Intendência Municipal (Palácio das Águias). Guided classes for public-school students, lectures and courses are offered; the art and architecture library serves researchers.

In September 2006, four armed men broke into the foundation's headquarters and stole artworks, jewellery and 3,000 reais in cash; other pieces were damaged during the escape, and the works were never recovered. The museum also lends pieces under loan agreements with the Palácio da Alvorada, FIESP and the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo.
