The Museu Vale, in its current outdoor phase, is undergoing a period of preparation in 2026 for its new headquarters, currently under construction in the Port of Vitória, a cultural and historical landmark of Espírito Santo, which will occupy Warehouse 4 and the adjacent building.

This process broadens the institution’s dialogue with new realities, adding to its trajectory and more than 27 years of activity in the state.

In this context, the Museu Vale proposes, for the 24th National Museum Week of Ibram, whose theme is Museums Uniting a Divided World, a series of dialogues between different audiences, with the aim of bringing generations closer, strengthening the community and connecting cultures through the exchange of experiences in the social and aesthetic fields.
