About Museu Casa de Anita
The Museu Casa de Anita is housed in a small building in the Centro Histórico, next to the main church. The property is associated with the episode in which Anita dressed for her marriage to Manoel Duarte de Aguiar in 1835; it was not the residence where the couple went on to live.
Panels, objects and references to Anita's passage through Brazil and Europe guide the interpretation of the exhibition. The visit distinguishes the building, the event linked to the house and the later trajectory of the figure. Check the museum's opening and service before planning the internal visit and follow the conservation guidelines for the collection.
The façade and the small plot help recognize the place, but it is the exhibition that contextualizes the connection with Anita.
