Museu Tingüi-Cuera

A regionalist museum, located in Parque Cachoeira, the Museum is named in honor of the Tingüis Indians who inhabited the Araucaria region, already known as Tindiquêra at the time of the discovery of Brazil. It was opened on February 11, 1980 in the building of the extinct Companhia São Patrício, where it operated until 1982, when it was transferred to the building that housed the former Torres Tomato Pasta Factory, from 1943 to 1965, owned by Archelau de Almeida Torres. The Museum has a collection of approximately 600 pieces dating from the 19th century, which tell the story of the daily life and work of the population. Monitored visits can be arranged through the education department.

Parque Cachoeira
