Egyptian and Rosicrucian Museum
Museu Egípcio e Rosacruz Tutankhamon
A small Egypt-themed museum with a real mummy, housed in a building styled after an Egyptian temple, and one of the few Egyptian collections in southern Brazil.
The museum sits in the Rosicrucian Park (Bosque Rosacruz) on the east side of the city. Its exterior is modeled on an Egyptian temple, and the entrance features an obelisk and a sphinx. Inside, visitors can see authentic ancient Egyptian artifacts and replicas. The highlight is a genuine mummy of an ancient Egyptian woman known as 'Tothmea,' along with a replica exhibit of Tutankhamun's tomb. The museum is small, with a modest admission fee, and a visit takes about one hour. It is about 7 km from the city center, so a taxi is recommended.
