The Padre Toledo Museum occupies the former house of Carlos Correia de Toledo e Melo, one of the figures linked to the Inconfidencia Mineira independence movement. The house itself is part of the appeal, with painted ceilings and rooms that make the political history feel less abstract.
It is the best museum stop in town if you want to understand why Tiradentes is tied so strongly to Minas Gerais' rebel mythology.
