Memorial Minas Gerais Vale
The most popular interactive museum in the Liberdade Cultural Circuit. It uses film and installations to tell the story of Minas Gerais's history, literature, music, and folk culture.
The memorial is housed in the former state treasury building, completed in 1897. Its 31 galleries use multimedia installations to present the gold rush history of Minas Gerais, Baroque art, writers such as Guimarães Rosa, and folk festivals and music. It is highly interactive and a good way to quickly understand Minas culture. Admission is free. Closed on Mondays. Lectures and performances are often held in the evening.
