Schools and groups
Guided tours
We welcome schools, institutions, and groups for specially tailored visits designed to enrich their experience with the exhibition's content.
Each tour is prepared around three questions: who the group is, which question will guide the tour, and which points of the exhibition will be explored. Depth matters more than the number of stops.

Aligned with the BNCC
The itineraries dialog with the BNCC (Brazil's national curriculum): from learning rights and fields of experience in Early Childhood Education to Art skills in Elementary School, and Languages and Human Sciences in High School. The exhibition does not replace the curriculum: it offers experiences that teachers can build upon in the classroom.
Afro-Brazilian history and culture, mandatory by Law No. 10.639/2003, are the core focus of the approach to samba and Carnival.
For groups
- Groups of children up to 8 years old: minimum of 1 teacher or chaperone for every 4 children.

How to book
When requesting a booking, the institution provides: name, school network, city, contact person and details, grade level or age group, number of students and chaperones, desired date and time, tour of interest, accessibility needs, and pedagogical goal for the visit.
Five to seven days before the visit, the school receives pre-visit material. The day after the visit, it receives proposals to continue the work in the classroom.
