Museu da Imagem e do Som do Ceará, Technology museum in Fortaleza, Brazil.

The Museu da Imagem e do Som do Ceará occupies a house designed by architect José Barros Maia (Mainha) and inaugurated in November 1951 as the residence of Senator Fausto Augusto Borges Cabral. Two porcelain lions from Porto, dating from the early 20th century, guard the building. The sober architecture includes gardens and flowers.

Audiovisual documentation began in 1980 in the basement of the Biblioteca Pública Estadual Governador Menezes Pimentel. The collection grew with equipment, photographs, audio tapes and cordel literature from the extinct Centro de Referência Cultural, plus films from TV Educativa. The museum was reopened on 7 August 1996 in its current home, a house designed by José Barros Maia (Mainha) and inaugurated in November 1951 as the residence of Senator Fausto Augusto Borges Cabral. It served as the state government's official residence from 1963 to 1971 and housed the Museu Antropológico do Ceará until 1990.

The museum holds recordings, films, and photographs from Ceará's artistic past and shows how local musicians and creators documented their work. Visitors see traditional instruments displayed alongside modern recording equipment, reflecting how artistic practice has changed in the region.

The building is easy to navigate, with clearly separated sections and elevators connecting the underground levels. Plan enough time to move between floors and view the different areas at a comfortable pace.

A room with ten projectors lets visitors step into large visual environments and experience historical moments in fresh ways. The museum also operates specialized laboratories with imported equipment to restore damaged recordings.
