MUSEU CARLOS COSTA PINTO
Museum in a colonial-style mansion, featuring an important Brazilian silver collection, including jewelry...
It is one of the most important museums in Salvador, housed in a colonial-style house built in 1958 by the architects Reis and Rebouças. The house was refurbished for its new function and received more than 3,000 pieces donated by the widow of Carlos Aguiar da Costa Pinto, a wealthy merchant and art and craft collector, and became a museum in 1969. It gathers one of the most important Brazilian collections of silverware, porcelain and furniture of the sugar aristocracy (17th-19th centuries), jewelry and precious stones.
