WARNING

From december 2024, our long-term exhibition will be temporarily closed for a major overhaul.

Inaugurated in 2014, ‘Migrating: Experiences, Memories and Identities’ will undergo an update of its contents, approaches, exhibits and technological resources. To make this renovation possible, the public will not have access to this main exhibition between december 2024 and and the second half of 2025. In order to enrich the visitors' experience, this period will feature the largest temporary exhibition ever held by the Immigration Museum: 'Move! Climate and Displacement’ addresses how global warming and environmental disasters impact migratory processes, providing a deep immersion into the subject through installations, data, objects, testimonies, visual resources and scientific information.

The museum remains open for spontaneous visits and group bookings for the temporary exhibitions on show, cultural and educational programmes, access to the garden, cafeteria, Maria-fumaça rides and Portraits of a Time.

The exhibition “Migration: experiences, memories and identities” presents the preservation and research works carried out by the Immigration Museum about its main theme.

Divided into eight modules, the exhibition depicts the migratory process as a permanent phenomenon in the history of mankind, with a focus on specific contexts such as the big wave of immigration in the 19th and 20th centuries, migration policies, everyday life at the Bras Immigrant Hostelry and the contributions made by this process to the creation of São Paulo state and city.

However, the history of human migration should not be restricted to the past. Bearing this in mind, the exhibition promotes a dialogue with the contemporary world and the new waves of people who are crossing borders daily.
