Brazil: Christ the Redeemer Museum in Rio de Janeiro receives its first stone

The more than 90 years of history of one of the most significant cultural heritages in the world and symbol of Brazil will be exhibited at the Christ the Redeemer Museum in Rio de Janeiro, which is scheduled to open in 2024.

It will also portray the digital historical heritage built since last year from the Collaborative Digital Collection, which has documents and images shared by hundreds of people through the Internet.

The organization of the entire museum collection will be in charge of the Collection and Memory Center of the Sanctuary of Christ the Redeemer.

On Friday, July 29, the mass in honor of the 176th birthday of Princess Isabel concluded with the laying of the first stone of the Christ the Redeemer Museum, which will be installed on the fourth floor of the Paineiras Visitor Center.

“This celebration will be a milestone in the history of the Sanctuary of Christ the Redeemer! The Christ the Redeemer Museum is a legacy of the 90th anniversary of the monument and is the first action on the road to the centennial.

“On this historic day in which we celebrate the anniversary of the one who was the precursor of the history of the great religious symbol of Brazil, we bless the beginning of this great work for the culture and faith of our country,” the rector of the Sanctuary of Christ the Redeemer, Father Omar, said.

Mude, with 23 years of experience in the design, construction, and management of museums, thematic spaces, events and exhibitions, and the Paineiras Corcovado Consortium, which is part of the Cataratas Group and operates in the management and operation of experiences in parks and tourist attractions in Brazil, will be in charge of designing the project.

Yapoli, a company focused on centralization, management, and distribution of documents and digital content for corporations, is responsible for managing the storage system of the Collaborative Digital Collection.
