Chacara do Céu Museum
The museum is part of the buildings, collections and parks of the Castro Maya Museums, which are covered by IPHAN.
The Céu Chácara Museum, which was Castro Maya's former residence and left by himself for the enjoyment of the population through the Castro Maya Foundation, is in Santa Teresa and has been known by that name since 1876. Inherited by Castro Maya in 1936 and topped by the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN) in 1974, the museum exhibits art collections from various periods, and from different origins, rare books, furniture and decorative arts, distributed in a house with three floors. Today, besides the long-term and temporary exhibitions, the museum maintains two rooms originally furnished and set in order to preserve the character of residence of the site.
Attention! Before visiting the site, visit the official website to check that there is no change in programming/functioning.
