THINGS TO DO IN MANAUS?
CHIMNEY MILL ARTS CENTRE
Originally, the building had the purpose of being a sewage treatment plant in the city. It was built in 1910 by the English company Manaós Improviments, concessionaire of sanitation services, contracted by the state government from 1906.
With neo-renaissance characteristics, the building has, on the right side, a 24-meter chimney, built with refractory compact bricks, crowned by a molded iron hat. So it became known as Chimney.
Tombado as Historical Monument of the Amazon in 1988, the building was reformed in 1993 as Center of Arts Chaminé to house the Pinacoteca of the State, with temporary expositions.
In 2002 the building received new renovation, already as Usina Chaminé, and was reopened as part of the actions of the Nature Preservation Program of the Cultural and Historical Memory of Amazonas.
