  • 5/5 Maykon Diego M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The museum is housed in a convent of conceptionist nuns, founded in the 19th century. XVIII, among others by our first Brazilian saint, Frei Galvão. The place is beautiful! Many stories told through religious artifacts, which make us have a reflection on the history of Catholicism / Christianity. I recommend it to anyone who likes museums. Calmly appreciate each work, art, sculpture, religious instrument, in addition to understanding a little more about our own history. Ah! Free parking and a beautiful chapel, where masses are held. It is worth knowing and checking! (Original) O museu fica em um convento de freiras concepcionistas, fundado no séc. XVIII, entre outros pelo nosso primeiro santo brasileiro, Frei Galvão. O lugar é lindo! Muitas histórias contadas por meio de artefatos religiosos, que fazem com que tenhamos uma reflexão sobre a história do catolicismo/cristianismo. Recomendo para quem gosta de museus. Apreciar com calma cada obra, arte, escultura, instrumento religioso, além de entender um pouco mais sobre a nossa própria história. Ah! Estacionamento gratuito e uma linda capela, onde realizam-se missas. Vale a pena conhecer e conferir!

    Although thia is a thematic religious museum is worth a visit to grasp how powerful and rich (in all senses) the church made itself thought out the centuries. Is also a deep view in Portuguese/Spanish baroque architecture and way of leaving. Important to point out that in terms of counter reform Portugal was a easy place to be when compared to Spain.

    Try to time your visit so you can see an extensive Naples presepi (nativity scene) exhibit, which is open only 10-11am and 2-3pm. The entire museum is free on Saturdays. Very beautiful religious art collection inside a historic building. Interesting temporary exhibits as well.

    Wonderful museum. The navity scene was built with statues from various artists since the 18th century - which is open for visitation on weekends, during a certain period of time, so check it out before going. They also have the famous Frei Galvao's pills, made of paper, as part of a praying routine of 9 days.

    (Translated by Google) The place is beautiful and there are several relics about the sacred history of Brazil. The place has a very religious atmosphere taking into account that on the second floor is the sisters' own monastery. (Original) O lugar é lindíssimo e há diversas relíquias a respeito da história sacra do Brasil. O lugar tem uma atmosfera bastante religiosa levando em consideração que no segundo andar se encontra o próprio mosteiro das irmãs.

    (Translated by Google) Sensational describes the place well. Amazing works. Religiosity does not take away the beauty and history of the pieces. Is it possible to enter the chapel and what is the surprise on the altar? A Madonna to reestablish faith in ourselves (not to mention religion). And service is the icing on the cake. Qualified and committed employees. Worth a lot. I highly recommend it. (Original) Sensacional descreve bem o lugar. Obras incríveis. A religiosidade não tira o espaço da beleza e história das peças. É possível adentrar a capela também é qual não é a surpresa sobre o altar? Uma Nossa Senhora de reestabelecer a fé em nós mesmos (pra não citar religião). E o atendimento é a cereja do bolo. Funcionários capacitados e empenhados. Vale e muito. Super recomendo.
