The mechanisms of repression and resistance are presented in an old jail cell based on the memories of former political prisoners of the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship.

This exhibit presents the memory of the project titled Brazil: Never again, the most in-depth research by civil society about torture in Brazil during the military dictatorship period.

The itinerary presents the construction of memories of ESMA from the largest clandestine detention, torture and extermination center to UNESCO World Heritage.

Ocupações Memorial (roughly “Memorial Occupations”) is a project showing external exhibits and productions commissioned by the museum. The current exhibit was produced by the University PUC-SP and tells the story of the university’s resistance efforts since the days of Brazilian civil-military dictatorship.
