Um pouco de história

Founded in 1918, the museum originally focused on preserving Salvador’s historical and ethnographic heritage before expanding into the arts. In 1982, it moved to the Vitória Palace, formerly the headquarters of the Secretary of Education. In 2019, it received the Diploma and Medal for Museological Merit from the Brazilian Regional Museology Council. In 2020, it joined Google Arts & Culture, adding an adapted Google Street View of its interior.
