The best museums Maceió

Housed in a beautifully restored colonial building, this museum is named after a doctor who bequeathed to the University of Alagoas his collection of an infinite number of handicrafts from popular culture. This museum is dedicated to anthropology and regional folklore, of infinite richness. Popular toys, objects made of vegetable fiber (caçuás, baskets, abanos, hats, etc.), utilitarian ceramics from the Kariri Xocó ethnic group, from Alagoas, pieces of the Afro-Brazilian cult, elements of popular Catholicism, lace and embroidery

The museum of the Historical and Geographical Institute of Alagoas is located in the city centre of Maceió. It exhibits to the public part of the historical, archaeological and ethnographic collection of the institute. This museum offers a collection focused on the culture of the natives: ornaments, bows and arrows, native accessories and weapons that belonged to the bandit Lampião... an interesting journey through time, too bad that the place suffers from a cruel lack of maintenance.
