FUNDAÇÃO HANSEN BAHIA

The Fundaçao Hansen Bahia museum features numerous paintings and woodcuts by the German-born artist, all inspired by the misery of the human condition. Since 2010, the museum has moved into a new, more suitable space, and now has 480 m² for its exhibitions and activities. The museum was originally housed in the birthplace of another illustrious Cachoeira figure, Ana Nery, a volunteer nurse whose commitment during the Paraguayan War (1860s) prefigured the work of the Red Cross.
