The Municipal Museum of Caxias do Sul has 20 exhibition rooms, totaling six environments with exciting thematic sets. Such spaces seek to problematize the rich history of a locality that, emerged as an Imperial Immigration Colony in 1875, it would quickly become one of the most important cities in the southern region of Brazil.
