Museu do Expedicionário, Military history museum in Curitiba, Brazil.
The Museu do Expedicionário is a military museum in Curitiba dedicated to the role of Brazilian troops in World War II. It displays uniforms, weapons, photographs, and written documents from that period.
The museum was founded in 1946 by veterans from Paraná who wanted a space to honor their wartime service. It stands as one of the earliest Brazilian institutions dedicated to World War II memory.
The museum holds personal objects brought back by Brazilian soldiers, including handwritten letters and wartime diaries. These items give a human face to a chapter of Brazilian history that many visitors know little about.
The museum sits near Praça do Expedicionário and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. Information panels are in Portuguese, so a guided tour can be helpful for visitors who do not read the language.
Among the objects on display are communication devices used by Brazilian soldiers during the Italian campaign. Some of these pieces came from allied forces, showing how equipment passed between nations in the field.
