The sections bring together decorative art pieces, paintings, engravings, and sculptures by important names in visual arts, such as paintings by artists linked to modernism in Brazil like Alfredo Volpi and Di Cavalcanti. The exhibited works were researched, and several discoveries were made in various places all over Brazil, as items linked to the evolution of banking activities in Brazil, such as documents of historical value, coins, equipment, objects, and furniture were found in the research.
