The Pinacoteca Station is a early 1900’s building that once housed the railroad Sorocabana warehouses and offices. It is the oldest art museum in São Paulo, and established as a state museum since 1911. After passing through a renovation conducted in the 1990s, the museum became one of the most dynamic cultural institutions of the country, lining up with the international circuit of exhibitions, hosting cultural events and keeping an active bibliographic production.
The Sao Paulo Resistance Memorial which is located on the Pinacoteca’s station ground floor, was created as part of the transformation of the building in a museum, since it was once the headquarters of governmental department responsible for oppressive acts against dissidents of the Dictatorship that lasted from 1964 to 1984 . The institution is dedicated to preserve the memory of the political repression and resistance occurred during this period. Among its performances are a long-term exhibition and a temporary exhibits program.
