Memorial da Resistência Mossoroense, Historical museum in Mossoró, Brazil.
The Memorial da Resistência Mossoroense occupies three floors with four modules featuring exhibits about local defense against banditry in northeastern Brazil.
In 1927, the citizens of Mossoró organized a successful defense against the invasion of Lampião's bandit group without military assistance.
The museum contains a dedicated exhibition hall, film projection rooms, and research facilities focused on the regional banditry phenomenon known as Cangaço.
Visitors can explore multiple exhibition spaces showcasing photographs, documents, and biographical information about local heroes who participated in the resistance.
The death of Jararaca, a prominent member of Lampião's gang, during the resistance earned Mossoró recognition as the only northeastern city to repel the bandits.
