Next Monday, November 2, we observe All Souls’ Day. Many São Paulo residents use this day to honor their deceased loved ones and, perhaps, enjoy the city’s cultural attractions after paying their respects. That’s why we’re now sharing a list of museums open on All Souls’ Day and their respective schedules. Admission is free at all of them!
One of the museums open during the holiday is the MUB3, which preserves the history of the national capital market. The collection features items from Brazil’s major stock exchanges, providing an overview of the country’s economic history.
The long-term exhibition offers a fun and interactive journey that helps visitors understand how the capital market has contributed to the country’s development. Visitors can also explore the temporary exhibition “Stock Exchanges: A Trip Around the World,” which traces the history of 15 financial markets in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Located in the former building of the Department of Political and Social Order (DOPS), the museum is dedicated to preserving Brazil’s political history. This All Souls’ Day holiday, visitors can enjoy three current exhibitions:
The long-term exhibition “Never Again Dictatorship: Memories of Political Repression and Resistance” highlights forms of resistance against the authoritarian regime of the 20th century.
The temporary exhibition “Don’t Be Scared, People” features drawings created by political prisoners in São Paulo prisons between 1969 and 1979, while “In the Eye of the Street” showcases different ways of occupying urban space.
A haven for contemporary art in São Paulo, the Paço das Artes will be open with special hours this All Souls’ Day holiday.
On view since September, “NO LIMITE: Form and Transformation” explores the transformative potential of boundaries, featuring works by 16 artists from six different countries. Visitors can also check out the installation “Castelo de cartas,” featuring works by audiovisual artist Sonia Guggisberg.
Among the museums open on the holiday, the CCBB is one of the most versatile. The venue features free exhibitions, workshops, theater, and much more! On November 2, visitors can enjoy the exhibition “Marlene Barros: The Weaving of the Feminine” and film screenings from the “A Cinemateca é Brasileira – Special Edition” festival.
