Panoramic character

Ema Klabin (1907-1994) form, throughout his life, a large collection of panoramic character, inseparable from the house and the environments he built and created to house it. "The collection, with their more than 1.600 parts, contains copies of the most varied origins and techniques, and its common denominator - its guiding thread - is the period of Ema Klabin's life and the aesthetic and historical judgment that guided her choices, within a feminine culture ”, explains the curator of the Casa Museu Ema Klabin, the architect Paulo Costa.

Open to visitors since 2007, Casa Museu Ema Klabin inaugurated a new era for this collection and, besides dedicating itself to its study and diffusion, operates no present time. Its essence resides in the interaction with the public, made possible from a cultural program that today includes educational actions, courses, lectures, workshops, shows, publications, temporary exhibitions and contemporary art interventions, available in person and online.
