Museu de História da Medicina do Rio Grande do Sul – MUHM
The exhibition “CHALLENGES: medicine and the struggle for life” is about some of the many transformations along the History of Medicine. The search for knowledge to develop a healthy, fight disease, ease pain, prolong life and make it is shown in six areas: medical knowledge, customs, diagnostic specialties, the causes of diseases and treatments.
“From leprosy to Hansen disease” aims to discuss and disseminate the history of public health policies aimed at a emblematic disease in human history, leprosy, now called “hanseníase” (Hansen disease) in Brazil. Impossible to address speak about the issue without addressing the leprosy hospitals and later the colonies. So, gains space Itapuã the Colony Hospital (HCI), located 67 km from Porto Alegre, the only institution of its kind in Rio Grande do Sul. The exhibition will enable the recognition of the social actors involved: politicians, doctors and sick. The claim of MUHM is to show the changes of the disease over time, to show that doctors and patients were conditioned by technical and scientific knowledge of the period, thus indicating that isolation was the only known effective treatment and the stigma goes back to an imaginary so old as human history.

Exhibition Inspirations and Sapucaias: The Transformations of the Quinta da Boa Vista.
1808, the mansion built by the portuguese merchant Elias Antonio Lopes at Quinta da Boa Vista was chosen as the official residence of the Portuguese Royal Family in Brazil. To accommodate the Royal Family, the house, known as the Palace of São Cristóvão, has undergone several reforms in its premises. From 1822, with the political independence of Brazil against Portugal, the mansion became the Imperial Palace, official residence of the emperors (D. Pedro I and Pedro II) and was renovated at various times, especially during the reign of King Pedro II that the gardens of the Quinta da Boa Vista highlighted. These changes that happened over the years, we intend to present to the public with exhibition Inspirations and Sapucaias.
