Immigration Museum of the State of São Paulo
The Immigration Museum of the State of São Paulo (Brazilian Portuguese: Museu da Imigração do Estado de São Paulo) is a museum of immigration in the Mooca neighbourhood in east São Paulo, Brazil.[3] It is located in the Immigrant Inn building, which opened in 1887.[4]
The "Historical Center of Immigrants" was created in 1986.[4] The Immigration Museum (Brazilian Portuguese: Museu da Imigração) was formally created on 25 June 1993 by an official decree by Luís Antônio Fleury Filho,[1] managing the collection of the Historical Center. The first "Immigrant Fest" took place in 1996.[4] The "Memorial of the Immigrant" was created in 1998, which was renamed the Immigration Museum in 2010.[4] Renovations of the building started in 2010,[4] which lasted 3.5 years and cost R$20 million. It reopened on 31 May 2014 as the Immigration Museum of the State of São Paulo.[4][5]
Its exhibition areas include a wooden wall engraved with over 14,000 surnames,[3] a long-term exhibition called Migrate: Experiences, Memories and Identities (Brazilian Portuguese: Migrar: Experiências, Memórias e Identidades), a reproduction of a dormitory and a dining room, and over 200 items such as furniture and suitcases,[5] as well as temporary exhibitions. It also has a digital collection.[3] The museum has over 12,000 items donated by immigrants, migrants and their descendants.[5]
The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Entrance is R$10, with free entrance on Saturday, and free late nights every other Friday (open until 8 p.m.). The museum also has a library (Brazilian Portuguese: Centro de Preservação Pesquisa e Referência), which is open Tuesday-Friday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.[6]
