Since November 24th, 2021, the “Memorial dos Povos Indígenas” (Memorial of Indigenous Peoples – MPI) has reopened its doors with a brand-new permanent exhibition.
Receiving the exhibition “Mais de 12 mil anos nesta terra” (Over 12 thousand years in this land), the “Memorial dos Povos Indígenas” has reopened on Wednesday (November 24th). The exhibition, which brings together 300 pieces from 15 nations of native peoples from around the country, brings a fraction of the batch of eight thousand artifacts seized by the Federal Police in the fight against the smuggling of indigenous objects and was donated to the memorial. With the donation, the MPI becomes the second largest institution in safeguarding the memory of indigenous peoples.
The exhibition will have five sections: feathers, ceramics, basketwork, masks and tactile. The tactile display sector is new to the memorial, in which visitors will be able to handle objects such as maracas, for example. The items that make up this part of the exhibition are those that are more resistant and that exist in duplicate in the collection.
In addition to the new exhibit, visitors will find a revitalized MPI. During the pandemic, the site received an investment of more than BRL 500.000, which resulted in the replacement of the floor, painting, cleaning and improvements in the signaling and fire-fighting system.

Desde 24 de novembro de 2021, o “Memorial dos Povos Indígenas” (Memorial dos Povos Indígenas – MPI) reabriu suas portas com uma nova exposição permanente.
Recebendo a mostra “Mais de 12 mil anos nesta terra”, o “Memorial dos Povos Indígenas” foi reaberto nesta quarta-feira (24 de novembro). A mostra, que reúne 300 peças de 15 nações indígenas de todo o país, traz uma fração do lote de oito mil artefatos apreendidos pela Polícia Federal no combate ao contrabando de objetos indígenas e foi doada ao memorial. Com a doação, o MPI passa a ser a segunda maior instituição de salvaguarda da memória dos povos indígenas.
A exposição terá cinco seções: penas, cerâmica, cestaria, máscaras e tátil. O setor de exposição tátil é uma novidade no memorial, no qual os visitantes poderão manusear objetos como maracas, por exemplo. As peças que compõem esta parte da exposição são as mais resistentes e que existem em duplicado na coleção.
Além da nova exposição, os visitantes encontrarão um MPI revitalizado. Durante a pandemia, o local recebeu um investimento de mais de R$ 500 mil, que resultou na troca do piso, pintura, limpeza e melhorias no sistema de sinalização e combate a incêndio.
