Cora Coralina House
About This Museum
I had no idea that one of Brazil's most beloved poets, Cora Coralina, didn't even publish her first book until she was 75. Stepping into her former home in Goiás is like walking right into the pages of her life. You can almost feel her presence in the rustic kitchen, where the copper pots and wood-fired stove seem ready for her to start another batch of the crystallized sweets she sold to get by. It’s not a sterile museum; it's a vibrant, lived-in space where her spirit and stories feel utterly alive.
Collection Highlights
Her humble writing desk overlooking the river, original manuscripts penned in her distinct script, and personal items like her mortar and pestle that tell the story of a woman who was both a confectioner and a literary force.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on Rua Dom Cândido in the heart of Goiás' historic center—you can't miss the charming blue and white facade. Just check their opening hours online before you go, as they can vary.
Architecture & Building
A beautiful example of simple 18th-century Brazilian colonial architecture, with thick whitewashed walls, a terracotta tile roof, and those iconic deep-blue window frames.
