The Théo Brandão Museum of Anthropology and Folklore is a Brazilian museum located at Avenida da Paz 1490, in Maceió, Alagoas.



The museum was created on August 20, 1975 and provisionally installed in house No. 3 of Campus Tamandaré, in Pontal da Barra. It was named Théo Brandão because it was created to house the collection of popular art that professor and folklorist Théo Brandão donated to the Federal University of Alagoas.



In 1977, on the occasion of the 5th Brazilian Folklore Festival, held in Maceió, the museum's collection was transferred to its own headquarters, in an eclectic architecture building, located on Avenida da Paz, in the center of Maceió.



It has tapes with recordings of regional songs, viola singing, emboladas, play, discs on the same theme as well as slides and photographs. It also has a binder with information on popular culture. In addition, there is a session with super 8mm and 16mm films on various folkloric manifestations in Alagoas.
