Museu da Gente Sergipana Gov. Marcelo Déda
About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of Aracaju's historic center, the Museu da Gente Sergipana is a delightful surprise. It’s not your typical quiet, dusty museum; instead, it pulses with energy, transforming the rich tapestry of local life into an interactive playground. You'll find yourself stepping into a virtual bumba meu boi celebration or listening to the whispers of folklore from digital trees. It’s a place where tradition and technology shake hands, making the cultural heritage of Sergipe feel incredibly alive and accessible.
Collection Highlights
Highlights include an immersive room where you can 'dance' with projected figures from local festivals like São João and a massive, interactive table where you can explore traditional foods and crafts. Don't miss the chance to record your own voice singing a classic 'cantiga' (folk song) in a vintage-themed booth.
