Museu Cais do Sertão

Museu Cais do Sertão is a museum at Recife's waterfront that focuses on the culture of Brazil's semi-arid Sertão region. It has multiple exhibition spaces with interactive displays and multimedia installations that show different aspects of regional life.

The museum was designed by architects Marcelo Ferraz and Francisco Fanucci and opened in 2018 to document the heritage of this Brazilian region. Its opening marked an important moment for recognizing and preserving Sertão culture.

The museum displays everyday objects from Sertão communities and allows visitors to experience traditional crafts and musical instruments firsthand. You can see how people in this semi-arid region live and work through the collection.

The building sits near Recife's waterfront and is easy to reach, with accessibility features for visitors with disabilities. It makes sense to check opening times before visiting and allow enough time to explore the exhibitions.

The exhibition uses interactive technology to show agricultural techniques, music traditions, and craft practices of Sertão communities. Visitors can explore these practices through digital presentations and understand how they fit into people's everyday life.
