About Museu de Arte Murilo Mendes
The Museu de Arte Murilo Mendes brings together, in Juiz de Fora, the artistic and literary legacy of the poet born in the city. The collection engages with Murilo Mendes's trajectory and with his contact with Brazilian and European artists. Works of art, books and documents shape this encounter between writing and image. The exhibitions are organized in rooms of the building on Rua Benjamin Constant, allowing a focused visit to the holdings and the curatorial projects on display. The museum is part of the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora and also develops educational activities. To see the shows, check the program and visitor service before you go. Groups can arrange mediation with the art and education team. Allow time to read the information about the works: the relationships between the poet, his books and art are a central part of the experience.
