Museu da Língua Portuguesa
Praça da Luz, s/nº - Centro Histórico de São Paulo, São Paulo - SP, 01120-010
Technology-driven museum devoted to a single spoken language, rebuilt after a devastating fire.
This guide to the Museu da Língua Portuguesa in São Paulo follows museologists who set out, inside a converted railway station, to build a museum around something with no shape or weight: the Portuguese language. It traces the screens and interactive walls of its 2006 opening, and the December 2015 fire that tore through two floors and killed firefighter Ronaldo Pereira da Cruz.
