Museum of Pedro Américo's House, Birth house museum in Areia, Brazil.

The Museu Casa de Pedro Américo occupies the small house on Rua Pedro Américo where the painter, novelist and poet Pedro Américo de Figueiredo e Melo was born. After restoration the interior was rearranged into two rooms, with glass fitted in the windows; one room holds the museum and more than twenty reproductions of his paintings, including three self-portraits hung on the walls, many of them religious in subject.

The house is where Pedro Américo de Figueiredo e Melo was born; it is listed as cultural heritage of Areia and run by the city government. Shortly before the painter's centenary, the municipality acquired the surrounding properties so the space could function as a pinacoteca. In 2015 the museum reopened after restoration by the Instituto Brasileiro de Museus.

The small house holds three self-portraits of Pedro Américo on its walls, and most of the paintings shown are religious in theme and are reproductions of works he originally painted. The originals are scattered across Brazil, in states such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The museum is run by the Prefeitura de Areia.

The museum sits on Rua Pedro Américo in Areia, Paraíba, and is run by the Prefeitura de Areia. After the 2015 restoration the interior was rearranged into two rooms, with glass fitted in the windows, so the visit is short and on one level. Look for the three self-portraits hung on the walls of the small house.

The museum keeps the pipe Pedro Américo used and a newspaper he sealed and kept until his death. In 2011 the painting Cristo Morto was restored by specialists from the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes, and the whole collection was digitally catalogued with the Donato 3.0 software.
