Today I will talk about the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Belo Horizonte!
The Arts and Crafts Museum is a museum located in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. Inaugurated on December 14 2005, it is the first Brazilian museum project fully dedicated to the theme of work, arts and crafts in the country. With 9,000 m², the museum is housed in the historic site of the old Central Station of the Central Railroad Brazil, Praça Rui Barbosa, known as Station Square. In the same place work today a subway station and a railway station. It is one of the most well-structured museums in Brazil in terms of organization, structure for exhibitions and use of
audiovisual resources!
History of the Museum of Arts and Crafts
The museum is an initiative of the Instituto Cultural Flávio Gutierrez and was developed from the donation to the public property of a collection of more than 2,000 pieces, from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, the cultural entrepreneur Angela Gutierrez, who also starred in the formation of the Oratory Museum in Ouro Preto. The collection shows the richness of popular production in the pre-industrial era: the doings, arts and crafts that gave rise to contemporary professions. To walk it, with the support of museographic resources and educational activities, visitors can see a wide panel of history and social relations of labor in Brazil in the last three centuries.
