About the museum
The Immigration Museum is a public institution in the State of São Paulo, with one of the most important collections and documentation in Brazil.
Located in the traditional neighborhood of Mooca, in the east of the city, the museum preserves the memory of the people who arrived in Brazil in the mid-19th and 20th centuries, and who with their work helped to build and transform the capital of São Paulo and the country.
Acting as a meeting point for different immigrant communities, the origins of the current museum date back to 1887, the year in which the Hospedaria de Imigrantes was founded.
The function of the place was to welcome and direct travelers brought by the government to work.
Over its 91 years of activity, the Hospedaria, which closed in 1978, welcomed around 2,5 million people from more than 70 nationalities.
The stories of these workers are still alive, preserved in the testimonies, photos, documents and newspapers that make up the large collection of the Immigration Museum, formerly known as Immigrant Memorial.
