Tempostal Museum

Its original nucleus was the private collection of the Sergipean Antonio Marcelino do Nascimento (1929-2006). The Tempostal Museum was inaugurated in 1997 and currently houses around 50,000 items dating from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. Its collection consists of postcards, prints and photographs on themes and varied places, which constitute a set of unquestionable historical and artistic value. From the collection stand out images of ancient Bahia and the refined postcards of the Belle Époque . Different records of urban transformations in Salvador and other cities in Brazil and in the world constitute another unique collection of the collection.
