Museu Aleijadinho

Set inside the Matriz Nossa Senhora da Conceição church, the museum pays tribute to Aleijadinho, one of Brazil’s most celebrated Baroque architects. The display features Aleijadinho’s and other 18th-century artists’ masterpieces, including religious figurines and finely-detailed crucifixes. The exhibition is spread across another two churches, Igreja São Francisco de Assis and Paróquia Nossa Senhora das Mercês, and it’s possible to walk between the three.
