[1][2] The collection, of over 1,500 artworks,[3] is composed of paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings, photographs, and examples of applied arts (furniture and porcelain), from Brazil and abroad, produced between the 18th and 20th centuries.

[4] In 1991, still as a result of this process of organization and consolidation of the municipality's cultural equipment network, the Belém Museum of Art is created during the administration of Manoel Augusto da Costa Rezende, as a department of FUMBEL.

[2] The Belém Museum of Art aims to preserve, restore, expand, research and publicize its heritage and foster various forms of artistic manifestations, as well as provide services to the student community, mainly in the field of art-education.

[3] The Antônio Lemos Palace, also known as "Palacete Azul", was designed by José Coelho da Gama e Abreu and built in the second half of the 19th century to house the Municipal Stewardship, thus integrating a select group of 1800's Brazilian buildings that still maintain their original public functions.

[1][2] The Belém Museum of Art has a collection of more than 1,500 works, including paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures, photographs and decorative objects produced in Brazil and Europe between the 18th and 20th centuries.

The segments referring to works produced in the context of the rubber boom period and to Pará iconography, depicting scenes of Belém, its inhabitants, and the Amazon region, are particularly rich.

[1][2] In the collection of paintings, a set of eleven canvases depicting urban landscapes of Belém executed by Antônio Parreiras, one of the many Brazilian artists attracted by the prosperity of the capitals of the Northern region during the rubber cycle, stands out.
