New Museum

The Museu do Ipiranga 2022 project aims at the complete restoration and modernization of the Museu do Ipiranga, aiming at its reopening for the celebrations of the Bicentennial of the Independence of Brazil in 2022.

To carry out the project, several stages must be completed: preparation of the Needs Program (done), Structural and Façade Diagnosis (done), Public Bidding for the Selection of the Architectural and Restoration Project (done), Preliminary Study (done), Basic Project (done), Executive Project (done), bidding and execution of the work (in progress), and implementation of the new exhibitions and technical areas of the Museum.

The new project foresees that the whole building, a heritage site in the three spheres of government, will be exclusively dedicated to public visitation, with exhibitions and visual fruition areas of its monumental architecture fully renovated, with universal accessibility and integrated to the urban set of the Independence Park.

The Museum will also have a new area of 6,800 m², including a temporary exhibition room, rooms for the educational program, café, auditorium, store and a comfortable reception area, making it compatible with the large international museums. The New Museum will significantly increase its public visitation, being able to receive more than 500,000 visitors/year.

The long-term exhibitions, using the Museum’s collections, will be expanded and completely renovated. The themes and issues will be developed within the institutional research lines: Universe of Labor, Everyday Life and Society and History of the Imaginary. New furniture, lighting, multimedia and restoration projects are planned. Special attention will be given to full accessibility, understood as a form of social inclusion of people with disabilities and in vulnerable situations.
