Memorial Câmara Cascudo, Cultural museum in Cidade Alta, Natal, Brazil.
The Memorial contains a specialized library of 10,000 volumes covering folklore, religion, history, biographies, and novels from the early 20th century.
The building, dating from the 18th century, served as the Royal Treasury headquarters before becoming the Federal Revenue Office until 1955 and Army headquarters until 1982.
The permanent exhibition 'O Mestre Câmara Cascudo' spans five rooms, showcasing photographs, folk art, puppets, and studies of religious syncretism in Brazil.
Located at Praça André de Albuquerque, the Memorial preserves the work of Luis da Câmara Cascudo, a Brazilian researcher of folklore and popular culture.
Many books in the collection contain handwritten notes by Câmara Cascudo himself and personal dedications from numerous authors of the period.
