Cemig Centre of Popular Art

The story of Minas Gerais from the 18th century to the present day comes to life via a superb collection of audiovisual and hands-on exhibits.

Two of Minas Gerais’ most important economic activities, mining and metallurgy, are celebrated through creative exhibits inside a neoclassical palace.

You can spend an afternoon browsing the exhibits at Tim UFMG Knowledge Space during your trip to Belo Horizonte. While in the area, you can find time to visit its shops.

Museums and stately landmarks surrounded this central square, which has gardens inspired by the designs of the Palace of Versailles.

In the busy cultural hub of Praça da Liberdade, Belo Horizonte’s public library offers peace and quiet along with more than 230,000 titles.

You’ll quickly find this residential tower that occupies a corner of Liberty Square: it’s a standout modern building among a group of sumptuous 19th-century palaces.
