Inaugurated in 1885, the Museu Histórico e Pedagógico Bernadino de Campos occupies a stretch of townhouses—adjoining residences sharing side walls and facing the street. The building showcases an eclectic architectural style, a blend of various influences likely encompassing neoclassical elements and period-typical ornamental details, most noticeably in its window and door frames, cornices, and other decorative features. The museum boasts a rich and diverse collection of 12,000 pieces.
