"MEMÓRIA DO VISITANTE"

Ação Educativa / compreendendo acervo, coleção...

Neste blog, você pode vasculhar as diversas lembranças deixadas no Museu por nossos visitantes. Aqui aparecem objetos que estavam em seus bolsos, ou esquecidos no fundo da mochila entre as folhas de um caderno. Quando vier ao museu, deixe a sua recordação numa caixinha e contribua para enriquecer este nosso acervo informal. Já imaginou o que poderá acontecer quando num certo dia você mostrar a seus filhos aquele fiozinho de cabelo que catou do ombro da Carol?

HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM
The museum was legally instituted in 1910, aiming to collect and present historic and artistic records that were kept in the Public Archive of the State. By the time it had only the Natural Historic section, the Ethnographic one, and the section of Historical Antiquities. However, it only was open in 1982, when it had already incorporated its collection with other important ones, such as the Sacra Art and the Pinacotheca of the State. It has been created to be a model for other museums in the state, but its meaning has been changed and extended for the several other received collections.The building was constructed in an eclectic style to host the Agriculture Secretary of the State in the end of the XIX century, by the time the city was being prepared to become the capital of the state. Later, in 1905, it hosted the Senate of the State, and, later, it was utilized as the General Treasury House of the State. Its architectonic style has been changed very much along the years.Nowadays its estate has many collections; three of them symbolize important moments in the story of the institution:· The collection Public Archive of the State (in Portuguese “Coleção Arquivo Público Mineiro”), that is composed by objects from both the pre-historic and the colonial age. The ones from the colonial age are very representative of the Brazilian habits and behavior in the age;· The Art Sacra Collection (in Portuguese “Coleção de Arte Sacra”, composed by objects form the XVIII and XIX centuries, joined by Geraldo Parreiras;· The Pinacotheca Collection of the State of Minas Gerais (in Portuguese “Coleção Pinacoteca do Estado de Minas Gerais”), that was started in 1926 and extended in 1971.Other notable and famous collections in the museum are the collections of sculptures, the one of drawings and the one of furniture.The Museum offers monitored visits for organized groups by the Educative Action Program (Programa de Ação Educativa do Museu Mineiro), thus, groups like schools and other institutions can explore not only the collections, but also their relations with the cultural patrimony of the state.
