O Museu

The museum carries a fine collection of medieval weapons, a national and international cutlery that also includes gaucho cutting tools, and a large set of Coat of Arms in which all visitors who go to the pleasant city of Gramado in Brazil must definitely stopover and take a look.

Our visitors will also get to know the origin and the history of their families through heraldry, the art and practice of devising, blazoning, and granting armorial insignia and of tracing and recording genealogies, which the owner Gilberto Guzenski is well dedicated since 1967.

"Conheci o Museu Medieval apenas no ano passado, e depois de entrar, percebi que valeria a pena ir até gramado apenas para fazer esta visita! Nada satisfaz mais um Nerd do que entrar num lugar como o MM e perceber que existem pessoas apaixonadas pela história e pela mais bela e simples arte, e não estou falando de metalurgia ou heráldica, mas sim da arte de dar vida aos sonhos mais íntimos de varias vidas, de nos levar a fantasia das histórias e contos de fadas, onde galantes cavaleiros duelam contra dragões e, por que não, contra a fria realidade."

"Eu fui nesse museu eu achei muito bom e legal"
