The Museu do Ipiranga in São Paulo recently marked the conclusion of its 130th-anniversary celebrations with the ‘Museu em Festa’ event on September 7, coinciding with Brazil’s Independence Day. This free cultural program, held in partnership with Sesc, featured theater, circus performances, music, and workshops, with integrated accessibility features such as Libras translation and audio description.

As a major historical landmark located within the Parque da Independência, the museum is deeply connected to the 1822 Declaration of Independence. Following recent restoration and modernization, the institution continues to house national memory through collections spanning the colonial, imperial, and republican periods.
