Espaço de Memória da CET - Daniel Basante Valcarce

The Espaço de Memória is a museum dedicated to transportation history in São Paulo's Barra Funda District. It holds historical vehicles, traffic control equipment, signs, and documents that trace how the city managed traffic and movement over time.

The museum preserves the history of the Companhia de Engenharia de Tráfego and its role in managing São Paulo's growth. It documents how traffic control methods evolved as the city expanded and transportation challenges changed.

The space tells the story of how transportation shaped São Paulo's urban life through objects and documents on display. Visitors can see how engineers and planners made decisions that changed how people moved through the city.

Guided tours can be arranged for visitors and are especially suited for groups and school visits. It helps to contact ahead to schedule your visit and get the most from what is on display.

The exhibits include original traffic control devices from different decades, showing how technology for managing streets changed over time. Some items are remnants from an era when manually operated signals were standard in the city.
