Memorial of Inclusion

The Memorial of Inclusion is a museum in São Paulo that houses stories of people with disabilities presented through photographs, videos, and personal testimonies about their lives. The collection focuses on documented experiences across different aspects of daily life and social participation.

The museum was established in 2009 to preserve stories of people with disabilities and make their struggles for recognition visible. The space marks a turning point when Brazil began systematically documenting these perspectives.

Visitors come here to encounter stories of people navigating daily life with disabilities and see how they shape their own paths in society. The displays center on lived experiences rather than abstract ideas about inclusion.

The central location in São Paulo makes the museum easy to reach, and entry is free for visitors. Plan for enough time to move through the different exhibition areas and engage with the displayed stories.

The museum holds an archive of documents and testimonies that tracks how disability movements evolved in Brazil over time. This archive remains largely unknown to most visitors but contains materials that are difficult to find elsewhere.
