Museu do Sertão, Folk history museum in Piranhas, Brazil.
The Museu do Sertão displays artifacts, weapons, and clothing that document life in the Brazilian northeastern backlands during the early 20th century.
The museum chronicles the period of social banditry known as cangaço, featuring items from the 1938 operation that led to the death of Lampião and his group.
Through photographs and personal objects, the museum presents the daily experiences of people who lived in the northeastern Brazilian hinterlands during challenging times.
Located in the former Railway Station of Piranhas, the museum offers free admission and requires approximately two hours for a complete visit.
The collection includes an authentic rifle that belonged to Lampião, along with documentary evidence of the final confrontation at Grota do Angico.
