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 displays objects from the Dutch occupation period, preserving the memory of European influences that shaped this region. The exhibited items tell the story of a chapter that continues to influence local identity today.
The museum is easily accessible from the city center and located in a quiet residential district. It is best visited during daytime hours when natural light illuminates the exhibitions effectively.
The collections include artifacts from the Dutch rule period that show how much this era shaped the region. These objects come from a time when the Netherlands controlled much of northeastern Brazil and left a lasting impact on local culture.
