history
The immigrant dormitory Hospedaria dos Imigrantes served as accommodation for arriving migrants from 1887. There was an employment agency, a settlement office as well as a hospital and a post office and telegraph office. From 1930, Brazilian internal migrants were also housed there. In 1978 the home was closed. In 1982 it was declared a national monument and in 1986 a historical center for immigration was established there. In 1993 the Immigration Museum was founded, renovated in 2010 and reopened in 2014.
exhibition
The aim is to preserve the memory of the numerous immigrants of different nationalities who passed through the dormitory and then over the years formed communities that today represent the state of Brazil. The meeting of people of different origins with their different travel circumstances and work opportunities and their contribution to the establishment of São Paulo is shown. The development of historical migration up to today's migratory movements is also taken up.
