    Oficina Cerâmica Francisco Brennand is a unique art museum and cultural center located in Recife, Brazil. It showcases the work of renowned Brazilian artist Francisco Brennand, known for his ceramic sculptures and tiles. The museum is set in a former tile factory, which adds to its industrial charm and historical significance.

    Visitors often praise the extensive collection of Brennand's surreal and sometimes provocative artworks, which range from small ceramic pieces to large-scale sculptures. The museum's outdoor areas, including lush gardens and a small lake, provide a serene backdrop for the artwork and are frequently mentioned as a highlight.
