Marmelos Museum

Due to the pandemic, the space is closed.

Museums keep and tell many stories. And it would be no different with the Marmelos Museum, located in Juiz de Fora. The place, which housed the Hydroelectric Complex of Marmelos from 1889, is nowadays a museum for a collection composed of pieces that tell the history of energy and the Plant.

Listed by the Historical, Artistic and Cultural Heritage of Juiz de Fora, the building has a simple edification, the Complex has masonry walls of apparent massive bricks, with the stone base hollowed out by gaps in lintels in arches in a rhythmic sequence.

The gable roof is covered with French tiles and the eaves are decorated with lambrequins. A small square-sectioned tower and hipped roof marks the construction.

To visit the museum is to walk through paths full of stories and memories.

The visits serve public and private educational institutions of all levels of education, organizations and other publics. Each group must be accompanied by a teacher and/or the person responsible for the visitors and will be received and guided by a Museum mediator, who will guide the visit according to the profile and age group of the visitors.
