Dona Beja Museum |
The building where Dona Beja Museum is located today was built in colonial style
in the first half of the 19th century. The construction also belonged to Assis Chateaubriand, who bought the real property in 1965
exactly to, some time later, transform it into a museum.
Inside the house there are furniture of the colonial and the Empire, besides
historic documents and some special rooms, referent to the historic development of Araxá. One of the rooms was baptized as "Lugar de
Memória", keeping an exhibit about the local life, illustrating the daily routine of the small town through the residents
themselves.
In the second floor, there is "Quarto da Beja", which ascends the
aspects of a room of that time from donated pieces or acquired by the museum administration.
