Museu do Imigrante

Santa Catarina


This 1890 Fachwerk home in Timbó chronicles the history of immigration in the area. Guided visits give context but only in Portuguese, unfortunately. It mainly consists of everyday household objects and furniture, including the original dining set of Timbó's founder, Frederico Donner.
