Founded in 2016 in the city of Uberaba (MG), the Chico Xavier Memorial was reopened in June 2024 after undergoing a comprehensive requalification process, including institutional planning, architectural and museographic adaptation and the reformulation of the main exhibition. The project was carried out by Expomus, the City of Uberaba and the Ministry of Culture, through the Federal Law of Incentive to Culture.
The initiative started from a strategic work of institutional positioning and conceptual orientation, which contemplated an integrated look between the demands of management, safeguarding, research and communication museological.
The new exhibition occupies two floors and four distinct galleries, which, in turn, are divided into rooms or exhibition niches. It is a unique and cohesive project, whose narrative is presented in seven modules that weave the medium’s life trajectory.
In addition to contextualizing facts and aspects of Chico Xavier’s biography, the expository narrative highlights the medium’s relationship with the city of Uberaba, the important social role he played and the universal values inherent to his discourse and practice.
In order to sensitize visitors to the spiritual experiences lived by Chico Xavier, the exhibition makes use of immersive experiences and technology resources. It also has various physical accessibility and content resources for people with disabilities.
In this way, the requalification project provided the emergence of a cultural equipment of reference in the city and region, aimed at disseminating the humanist values present in the legacy of Chico Xavier.
