- The Municipal Museum of Caxias do Sul appears, at the present time, as one of the most representative memory spaces of the locality. The complexity of its collection, composed of more than 12,000 items, allows its exhibitions to problematize history and memory beyond the local or regional scope, giving emphasis on multiple fields, times, and movements that end up relating the past represented there with the contemporary world itself. The Municipal Museum of Caxias do Sul has 20 exhibition rooms, totaling six environments with exciting thematic sets. Such spaces seek to problematize the rich history of a locality that, emerged as an Imperial Immigration Colony in 1875, it would quickly become one of the most important cities in the southern region of Brazil.
