Museum do Ceara

The Museu do Ceará was the first official museological institution of the State, created by decree in 1932, but officially opened to the public in January 1933, with the name of Museu Histórico do Ceará. It was initially conceived as one of the dependencies of the Public Archives, located at 248 de Maio Street, 238, in the center of Fortaleza. In early 1934, the Archive and Museum were transferred to Avenida Alberto Nepomuceno, 332, in front of Praça da Sé. Today these buildings no longer exist. Its main mission is to promote critical reflection on the History of Ceará through integrated programs of museum research, exhibitions, courses, publications and pedagogical practices.
