About Museu Histórico Emílio da Silva
The Museu Histórico Emílio da Silva displays objects and documents related to the formation of Jaraguá do Sul. The building, on Praça Ângelo Piazera, housed the town hall and functions of local authorities before becoming a museum. Thematic rooms help to understand work, school, religiosity and other aspects of the colonists' and community's life.
The visit allows you to relate the collection to the building and to the urban uses it received. Read the information in the rooms to distinguish periods and groups, avoiding treating every object as if it had the same origin. The layout of the exhibitions may change, and temporary programming should be checked before arrival. For groups or interest in educational accompaniment, arrange the visit with the institution, respecting open spaces and the care of historical materials.
