[4] The Immigration Museum (Brazilian Portuguese: Museu da Imigração) was formally created on 25 June 1993 by an official decree by Luís Antônio Fleury Filho,[1] managing the collection of the Historical Center.

[4] Renovations of the building started in 2010,[4] which lasted 3.5 years and cost R$20 million.

It reopened on 31 May 2014 as the Immigration Museum of the State of São Paulo.

[4][5] Its exhibition areas include a wooden wall engraved with over 14,000 surnames,[3] a long-term exhibition called Migrate: Experiences, Memories and Identities (Brazilian Portuguese: Migrar: Experiências, Memórias e Identidades), a reproduction of a dormitory and a dining room, and over 200 items such as furniture and suitcases,[5] as well as temporary exhibitions.

The museum also has a library (Brazilian Portuguese: Centro de Preservação Pesquisa e Referência), which is open Tuesday-Friday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.[6]
