Facts and practical information

The Immigration Museum is a municipal public museum located in the city of Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It was founded on January 30, 1988, from the collection of the Fraternity of American Descendants, a civil society organization responsible for managing the Cemetery of the Americans. It is subordinated to the Municipal Secretariat of Culture and Tourism.

The museum is housed in the former Casa de Câmara e Cadeia de Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, a building inaugurated in 1896 and designed in eclectic style by French architect Victor Dubugras. It is equipped with a specialized library and has an annex dedicated to documentation of the city, the Santa Bárbara d'Oeste Memory Center. It holds long and short term exhibitions and cultural and educational activities. Its collection consists of historical objects and documents related to the history of the city and the settlement currents that have headed to the region since the mid-19th century, especially North American immigrants, who came after the end of the War of Secession.
