Museu do Estado de Pernambuco, Historical museum in Graças district, Recife, Brazil.

The Museu do Estado de Pernambuco is a cultural institution housed in a 19th-century residential building. It contains collections of artworks, colonial artifacts, and regional objects spread across multiple exhibition rooms.

The building was originally the residence of the Baron of Beberibe before being transformed into a museum. The collection documents the region's development during the colonial period and European presence in northeastern Brazil.

The museum's name comes from its role as the state's own historical and art museum, created in 1928. Its collection grew from seizures of Afro-Brazilian religious objects by the state police in the 1940s, when those religions were repressed; these pieces are now part of the holdings. The Salão de Arte Contemporânea de Pernambuco is held here periodically to select emerging local artists.

The museum stands on Av. Rui Barbosa in the Graças neighbourhood and occupies 9,043 square metres, with a large car park and gardens holding sculptures and Portuguese ceramic pots. Two bronze griffins guard the main entrance, and statues of zouaves flank the staircase to the front terrace. The annexe and basement galleries add exhibition space beyond the 19th-century mansion.

The entrance is guarded by two bronze griffins with eagle heads, lion bodies and serpent tails. On the front terrace stand marble Muses, including Mnemosyne, and a three-metre bronze Dutch cannon sits on the side terrace, with four Portuguese artillery pieces behind the building.
