Museum of Gastronomy of B

Connected to the Senac Pelourinho complex, the Bahian Gastronomy Museum (MGBA) is the first in Latin America to be totally dedicated to gastronomy. Instead of presenting paintings and sculptures, the museum brings the stories of typical Bahian foods, such as acarajés, vatapás and moquecas, as well as ethnic, social and cultural references that are part of the gastronomy of Bahia. The MGBA houses theater, arena and restaurant. At the entrance, the visitor faces the Walls of Santa Catarina, the oldest and most important archaeological landmark in Salvador, dating from the foundation of the city. The collection of the museum is composed of films, photos, models and utensils of various types of materials that help to synthesize the formation of Brazilian cuisine. Large photographic panels on various subjects and signed by renowned photographers are also part of the collection. Besides the permanent exhibition, the museum has specific facilities on acarajé and cassava, as well as rotating showcases with periodical alternations. On the way out, visitors still stroll through the souvenir shop, where they can buy jam, cookery books or even coffee.
