Engenho Corredor, located in Paraíba, Brazil, is a historical museum that pays homage to the life and work of the writer José Lins do Rêgo. This museum features a collection that includes furniture and artifacts reflective of the era when Lins do Rêgo grew up, although many items are reproductions rather than originals. Visitors can expect a guided tour that lasts approximately one hour. Entrance fees are around 30 reais per person, and potential visitors should contact the museum in advance to schedule their visit, as access is not always guaranteed.

The museum offers a glimpse into the life of José Lins do Rêgo and the history of sugarcane plantations in the region. Reviews indicate that while the setting is beautiful, the experience can vary based on the availability of knowledgeable guides and the depth of historical context provided. Some visitors appreciate the connections to Lins do Rêgo’s works, especially “Menino de Engenho,” while others feel the exhibits lack original artifacts and vitality.
