The exhibition was born from the photographic record of the testimonies of residents from the surroundings of the Paço da Liberdade, who told the story of the Historic Center through their personal experiences. The documentary, which will also be exhibited, was presented during the 11th Spring of Museums, held in September. The photos are signed by Manauscult's photographer, Ingrid Anne Freire.

Moacir Andrade was one of the most expressive artists in the Amazon, with works recognized internationally. With a consolidated career, the artist had more than 10,000 canvases painted in over 70 countries. Andrade passed away in July 2016, at the age of 89. "Monumentality" brings together some of his main paintings.
