Casa do Poeta Lindolf Bell
The Casa do Poeta Lindolf Bell in Timbó , Santa Catarina , Brazil , is the former home and home of the poet Lindolf Bell , the most important representative of Catarinese literature. Following Bell's request, the community turned the house into a literary museum after his death to preserve his memory. All of his personal estate was donated to the museum by his children. On display are manuscripts of his texts, literary works that he valued, prizes that he has received, items of clothing and furniture, as well as works of art and numerous documents such as photos, letters and postcards as well as invitations to events.
There is also his private library with around 2,000 books, calendars, notebooks and magazines. In the hallway you can see numerous paintings by Elke Hering, a well-known painter from nearby Blumenau , with whom Bell was married for 18 years, as well as works by other Brazilian artists such as Juarez Machado, Marcelo Grassmann and Rodrigo de Haro. In addition to the originally preserved living spaces, the building also contains rooms for cultural events. A bust of the poet was placed in front of the house. The former garden was designed as an open-air gallery with sculptures by Elke Hering and other artists.
