About Fundação Ernesto Frederico Scheffel
The Fundação Ernesto Frederico Scheffel presents the work of the artist it is named after in the Historic Center of Hamburgo Velho, in Novo Hamburgo. Opened in 1978, the museum preserves a collection of more than 350 works, including paintings, drawings, sculptures and musical scores. The route allows you to follow different forms of expression by the same creator, observing themes and techniques rather than being limited to a single painting. The building also takes part in the visit: the façade with arched windows and balconies is part of the neighborhood's preserved heritage, and the house and the collection have federal protection. Allow time to walk through the rooms and study the details of the works. The foundation maintains public services and a cultural season; confirm opening status before you go, especially if you plan to participate in an activity. The visit to the museum is worthwhile even without a musical performance or special program.
