Have you ever imagined participating in a completely free course offered by one of the most renowned institutions in Brazil, without having to leave your home? This chance is knocking at your door with the new initiative from Museu Paulista, which has just opened 500 slots for an online course, broadcast on YouTube.
The promise is an immersive experience into the nuances of Brazilian history and culture, exploring the development of the exhibition “Sit, Store, Sleep: Museu da Casa Brasileira and Museu Paulista in Dialogue.” But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
A Course That Goes Beyond the Exhibition
With the aim of deeply analyzing the creation and behind-the-scenes of the exhibition, the course proposes a differentiated approach.

According to Museu Paulista, crucial topics such as the selection of collections, curatorial and exhibition decisions, and how these choices reflect the diversity of solutions for the daily activities of sitting, storing, and sleeping will be discussed.
But it doesn’t stop there. The course will also tackle specific issues related to the collections, promoting a broader understanding of their formations and convergences.
Additionally, the instructors will bring forth theoretical discussions aligned with the research lines of the institutions, exploring the lives and stories of the people who used and produced the furniture items.
What to Expect from the Course?
Divided into two days, the course has a total workload of 6 hours. On September 23, 2024, participants will have the opportunity to take a virtual tour of the exhibition, accompanied by photographs of the modules and sections, and listening to detailed comments on the main pieces from the collections.
The curatorial and exhibition choices, as well as the formations of the collections in dialogue, will be explained in this first moment.
On September 24, 2024, the focus will be more specific, with individual presentations by the instructors on topics related to furniture collections in museum institutions and the study of bodily practices concerning furniture. These topics not only enrich the understanding of furniture as a source for history but also for other areas of knowledge.
Enrollment Open, But Time is Short
Enrollment for this exclusive course is already open and will close on September 16, 2024. The selection of participants will be made in the order of registration, accommodating the first five hundred registrants who submit the necessary documentation.
And the best part: all of this is offered for free, with no registration fee, through the APOLO Platform.
An Experience Accessible to All
This course, in addition to being an excellent learning opportunity, stands out for being completely accessible.
The 500 available slots are intended for anyone interested in delving into the cultural and historical studies addressed by Museu Paulista and the Museu da Casa Brasileira. And all of this without having to leave home, as the activities will be streamed via the YouTube platform.
This initiative is a rare chance to connect with Brazilian history and culture through a specialized lens that offers a deeper and contextualized understanding of everyday objects.
Don’t miss this opportunity! Sign up and discover how curatorial choices can reflect the cultural diversity of a society.
