Pernambuco Contemporary Art Museum, Contemporary art museum in Olinda, Brazil.

The Pernambuco Contemporary Art Museum is housed in the 18th-century Aljube of the Diocese of Olinda, an ecclesiastical jail built to imprison "witches", sorcerers and those who committed crimes against the Catholic religion. It holds about 4,000 works in various media, mainly modern and contemporary Brazilian art with an emphasis on Pernambuco. Its original core is the art collection donated by Assis Chateaubriand to the state government.

The building is the former Aljube of the Diocese of Olinda, an ecclesiastical jail erected in the 18th century to imprison "wizards", sorcerers and people who committed crimes against the Catholic religion. On 23 December 1966 it was inaugurated as the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Pernambuco, part of the cultural network of Fundarpe. Its founding core was the art collection donated by Assis Chateaubriand to the Pernambuco government, later enlarged by donations and acquisitions.

The building was an ecclesiastical jail, the Aljube of the Diocese of Olinda, built in the 18th century to hold people accused of crimes against the Catholic religion, including those called sorcerers and witches. The museum opened in this former prison on 23 December 1966 and is run by Fundarpe, the state heritage foundation.

The museum provides audio descriptions for approximately 100 artworks to support visitors with visual impairments. These supplementary resources make the exhibition more accessible and informative for all visitors.
