Gold Museum Description
Gold Museum

Nearby, in the Casa da Intendància (1720), formerly the office and foundry of the gold inspectorate, is the Gold Museum (Museu do Ouro). This is the only surviving royal gold foundry in Brazil. Here the gold dust was weighed and cast into bars, a fifth part (quinto) being taken by the Crown. The museum displays mining equipment, furniture of the colonial period and a number of works of sacred art.
