An homage to the life of Brazil's greatest Baroque artist, this museum behind Matriz NS da Conceição displays works by Aleijadinho and other 18th-century masters, including intricate crucifixes, elaborate oratories (niches containing saints’ images to ward off evil spirits) and a vast collection of religious figurines. At the time of research, the museum was undergoing renovation, with its most important pieces temporarily moved to the Igreja de São Francisco.
