About Museu das Bandeiras
The Museu das Bandeiras operates in the old Casa de Câmara e Cadeia of Cidade de Goiás, a building constructed in the 18th century. Its collection addresses the occupation of the Center-West and the history of the region, allowing one to relate political and social life to the architectural heritage of the former Vila Boa. The institution is a standalone visit space, with exhibitions inside the historic building.
The reading of the architecture complements the observation of the presented materials. Follow the exhibition information to understand the objects in their context, without limiting the visit to photographing the façade. The institution's name relates to the memory of the territorial occupation process, which should be considered with attention to the different groups present in that history.
Check services before arranging entry and follow the guidelines on photography and circulation in allowed areas. Its location in the historic center allows adding the visit to a walk through nearby public spaces, with an appropriate pause to get to know the museum's rooms.
