Roberto Burle Marx Site

Renata Beltrão — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 19:38:48 +0000

Located in Barra de Guaratiba, a neighborhood in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, the property where Burle Marx lived and produced in his last twenty years of life is a great laboratory of experimentation: more than 3,500 species of tropical and subtropical plants, organized in nurseries and gardens, coexist in harmony with native vegetation in an area of 405 thousand square meters, which includes several buildings, lakes, gardens, art collections and a vast library.

In 2021, the Site was reopened after undergoing a complete requalification process, under the general coordination of Intermuseus and with Expomus acting in the museological requalification. The project included the updating of the environments of the property, maintaining its essence as spaces inhabited by the great figure who was the landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. The objectives were also to expand the capacity of the place and to receive visits in a more accessible and qualified way. The initiative was sponsored by BNDES.

In the same year of its reopening, the Roberto Burle Marx Site was considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Since 1985 the Site is a special unit linked to the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage (Iphan), fulfilling the role of preserving, researching and disseminating the life and work of Roberto Burle Marx.

Jewish Museum of São Paulo

The result of a civil society initiative cherished for almost two decades, the Jewish Museum of São Paulo (MUJ) opened its doors in November 2021 aiming to cultivate the various expressions, histories, memories, traditions and values of Jewish culture, in dialogue with the Brazilian context, with the present time and with the aspirations of its different audiences. Expomus was responsible for the museological coordination of the museum’s implementation.

Supported by a cultural and participatory program that intertwines the Jewish experience with Brazilian culture and contemporary art, MUJ was born committed to the coexistence between the various social groups and identities, to the fight against intolerance and prejudice, to education and intergenerational transmission, values at once universal and Jewish. The museum is housed in the building of the old Beth-El temple, in the central region of São Paulo, listed by the municipal heritage.

Museum of Florianópolis

The Museum of Florianópolis is a city museum that chooses as an object of study, reflection and communication the territory, more than the politically constituted city. In this sense, it was designed to act as a great portal of access to the municipality, where it is possible to know the city, in an interactive way, and understand it in its contemporaneity.

Expomus acted in the museological coordination of the implementation of the space, inaugurated in November 2021 in the restored building of the old House of Chamber and Jail, of the Florianópolis City Hall, which granted the management of the equipment to the Social Service of Commerce (Sesc-SC) for 20 years.

The Museum was born with the objective of promoting continuous reflection on the territory, the dynamics of construction, occupation and transformation of urban space, in its different dimensions: historical, geographical, cultural and symbolic, where temporalities converge and interpenetrate, through the exhibition of physical collections, technology, interactivity and its multidisciplinary educational program, comprehensive and inclusive.

Based on an innovative concept, the Museum of Florianópolis brings characteristics of historical museums, preserving the memory of the Capital of Santa Catarina, while looking at the present time to understand the complexity of the issues of the city today, in order to open a dialogue for the future. Using different technologies and exposing important collections, the space should position itself in the museological scenario of the municipality as an interlocutor to address emerging issues, bring different voices of the population.
