About Expomus
Expomus has been working since 1981 in museum projects throughout Brazil and abroad. Our hallmark is the deep dialogue with the present time: at all times, we seek to understand the context and the ongoing transformations to carry out projects that respond to contemporary desires, while ensuring their longevity, resonance with the public and positive social impact.
In these four decades of operation, the work we have developed has permeated social, cultural, scientific, technological and environmental issues. In recent years, we have specialized in encompassing the dimensions of sustainability and human diversity at the basis of the projects we carry out, so that these values operate transversally in all processes and products.
Thus, we incorporate into our work the constant attention to socio-environmental emergencies, their impact on society and the role of museums in mitigation, adaptation and resilience in relation to the socio-climate crisis. In the strategic planning and museological plans we carry out, we seek to prepare institutions so that their operations and programs act in a sustainable manner – from an economic, social and environmental point of view – as well as to deal with adverse situations.
Our actions privilege attention to others, the awakening of new talents for culture, the continued training of our peers and the formation of new audiences for Brazilian museums. We believe in collaborative, inclusive and accessible actions. We work towards the quality of relationships and achievements and foster the discovery of new sustainable forms of cultural management.
Expomus is permanently committed to encouraging museums and institutions to work in partnership with their communities, expanding the capacity for social transformation and resilience in the territories.
Among our main clients and partners are national and international museums and institutions, artists, private and corporate collectors, as well as public agencies at the municipal, state and federal levels. The more than 250 projects we have developed so far are marked by novelty, quality, ethics and transparency. Our solutions are sized to fully meet the customer’s needs, whether in the realization of a small one-off project or in the design and implementation of a large museum.

Museology
Museology is the articulating axis from which all the activities of Expomus flow since the company’s foundation in 1981, always focusing on the discovery and construction of new possibilities from the understanding of museums as spaces for dialogue with society. In partnership with the third sector, the government or the private sector, our projects have an emphasis on the relations of culture with social and environmental development. In the last decade, we have turned our gaze to issues that expand the space and debate around museums, that allow their audiences better access to collections and informational content, and that integrate them into the communities to which they are linked.

Collections
A significant portion of Brazilian heritage is outside museums, housed in private collections and collections, from north to south of the country. Expomus operates in the service of collections, whether public, private or business. For us, this universe contains a clear vision of the future. From the work of art to the historical collection, from archaeological remains to scientific instruments – each record we organize requires a thorough treatment, which consists of safeguarding actions and respect for international standards of conservation and security, fundamental for the preservation of these artistic and heritage assets for future generations. A qualified team ensures detailed and careful management of the collections.
