Rio Grande do Sul
A small but well-done municipal museum housing several rooms of historical artifacts (including an epic accounting machine), agricultural tools, sculpture and pottery. It also includes a scale model of the last of the Jesuit reductions (missions), Santo Ângelo Custódio, which sat on this site but was destroyed in the Guarani War of 1756.
The front gallery is reserved for temporary local art exhibitions.
