The Casa Guilherme de Almeida biographical-literary museum is run by the
State of São Paulo's Department of Culture and Poiesis – Civil Society Organization for
Culture.
Inaugurated in March 1979, the museum that was also the home of Guilherme
de Almeida from 1946 until his death in 1969 houses nowadays objects from the
private collection of this poet, linguist, journalist and lawyer who is recognized as one
of the intellectual founders of the Brazilian modernist movement.
The collection on exhibition at the Casa Guilherme de Almeida contains many
works of art (engravings, sketches, sculptures and paintings) bestowed on the poet
by artists such as Anita Malfatti, Tarsila do Amaral, Emiliano di Cavalcanti, Lasar Segall
and Victor Brecheret; all of whom contributed greatly to the Brazilian modernist
movement.
The museum also includes the writer's extensive and diversified library, a
collection of newspaper and magazines and photographic archives as well as the set
of rare furniture and ornaments carefully selected and acquired by Guilherme and his
wife, Baby de Almeida, throughout their life.
Visitors can also browse artifacts related to one of São Paulo’s most important
historical movements and one in which the poet was a key figure, the Revolução
Constitucionalista (Constitutionalist Revolution, 1932).
The Casa Guilherme de Almeida was established not only to preserve historical
artifacts related to the poet's life, it also strives to disseminate his works through the
intensive cultural program designed to encompass all Guilherme's diverse interests
and activities; courses, workshops, lectures, round tables and recitals provide the
opportunity for visitors to learn more about his life and works.
Guilherme de Almeida was productive in many areas, but it was the renown
he gained for the excellence of his poetry translations that motivated the museum
to create a Center for Literary Translation Studies, which offers a range of activities
related to translation theory and practice.
After extensive renovation and refurbishment, the museum was reopened to the public in December 2010 and now welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
