The Augusto Montenegro Mansion (Portuguese: Palacete Augusto Montenegro), also known as the Montenegro Mansion, is a historic residence in Belém, Pará, Brazil. It was completed in 1903 for Governor Augusto Montenegro (1867-1915). It is one of numerous structures built in Belém in the eclecticism during the Amazonian "rubber cycle" in the early 20th century. The mansion now houses the Museum of the Federal University of Pará. It was listed as a historic structure by the Department of Historic, Artistic and Cultural Heritage of Pará in 2002.[1][2]
