Museum of the Missions and its collection

Museum of the Missions
Source

The Mission Museum, known in Portuguese as Museu das Missões, is a historical site located in São Miguel das Missões, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The museum is situated amidst the ruins of São Miguel das Missões, a Jesuit reduction that includes the Church of São Miguel Arcanjo and other surrounding ruins. This location offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore both the museum and the historical ruins in one visit.

Artifacts and Design of the Mission Museum

The Mission Museum is home to works from the Church of São Miguel Arcanjo and statuary from the Rio Grande do Sul region. The museum was designed by renowned architect Lúcio Costa and was constructed using materials from the ruins. This design choice not only preserves the historical integrity of the site but also provides a unique aesthetic appeal.

UNESCO World Heritage Status of the Mission Museum

In 1984, the Mission Museum was recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site titled 'Jesuit Missions of the Guaranis'. This recognition underscores the global cultural and historical significance of the museum and the site it occupies.
