Santa Catarina Art Museum

The Santa Catarina Art Museum is an art museum in the Agronômica district, part of a larger cultural complex with several exhibition spaces on different levels. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and graphic works by artists from the region and across Brazil.

The museum was founded in 1949 as the Museum of Modern Art of Florianópolis and later renamed to reflect its broader artistic scope. This change marked its evolution from focusing only on modern art toward collecting a wider range of regional works.

The museum shows works that represent Florianópolis and the Santa Catarina region, focusing on local artistic expression across generations. You can see how the region's art scene has developed and what subjects matter to local artists.

The museum is housed in a complex that is easy to access, with multiple exhibition areas you can explore at your own pace. It helps to allow enough time for the different levels and check what exhibitions are on display before you visit.

The museum hosts an exhibition called 'Sou Catarina' that tells the region's story through the work of local artists and shows how they see their home. This collection provides direct insight into how artists view their own region.
