Museu da Gente Sergipana, Interactive museum in Aracaju, Brazil
Description
The Museu da Gente Sergipana is a museum in Aracaju that tells the story of regional culture through interactive displays and digital installations. The exhibits focus on traditional crafts, local cooking, and artistic practices that visitors can explore hands-on.
History
The building was originally built in 1926 as a school called Atheneuzinho and served that purpose for many decades. In 2011, the State Bank of Sergipe restored and converted it into this museum.
