Such beauty in a converted prison!
Within the confines of an old public prison, is housed the Polo Joalheiro, the Casa do Artesão, a museum dedicated to the treasures of Para, indigenous Marajoara and Tapajônica ceramics and artefacts. The specialities of the museum include collections of “design” jewellery which incorporate elements from the tropical forest, such as seeds and fibres, mixed with semi precious stones.
