Lonely Planet review for Museu de Arte Sacra

The Museu de Arte Sacra consists of the impressive Igreja do Santo Alexandre and the adjoining Palâcio Episcopal (Bishop’s Palace). Santo Alexandre was Belém’s first church, founded by Jesuits in the early 17th century. Impressive in size alone, the church nave also contains brilliant sculpture and detailing, virtually all done by indentured índios using plaster and local red cedar. The rambling Bishop’s Palace has a decent collection of modern art and installation pieces, plus a café and gift shop.
