Coffee Museum

The coffee museum in Santos, which is housed in a beautiful and imposing building, teaches you about the history of Brazilian coffee and how to make it.

For decades, Santos has been a major centre for coffee production and has played an important role in Brazil’s coffee sector. In the first half of the twentieth century, coffee was one of the main sources of income.

In the museum you can see scenes from the everyday life of Brazilians at the turn of the century. The ceiling features breathtaking stained glass windows by local artist Benedito Calixto. All rooms of the building tell about the history of coffee, show all kinds of tools and objects related to the history of Brazilian coffee.

The museum can be visited from Tuesday to Saturday from 9 to 17 hours, and on Sunday from 10 to 17 hours. The tours are conducted in Portuguese and the exhibits are signed in Portuguese and English.
