Museu do Café

The grand neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa Oficial de Café, where the Coffee Museum is located, was home to the coffee exchange up to 1957. Rosewood chairs are set out for traders in the trading hall, whose walls are hung with panels painted by Brazilian Benedito Calixto. Upstairs are exhibits related to the world of coffee. Visitors can also sample the drink at the museum's cafeteria. The last major renovation of the Museu do Café in Santos was completed in 2017. The restoration and modernization aimed to preserve the historic building and enhance the visitor experience, including upgrades to the facilities and exhibits.
