Entre 1817 e 1820, dois viajantes estrangeiros, Spix e Martius, participaram de uma missão científica que percorreu diversas regiões do Brasil. Ao chegarem ao Rio de Janeiro, anotaram sua opinião sobre a capital do Império:
Indique as realizações da administração de D. João que tenham contribuído para que o Rio de Janeiro adquirisse as características europeias percebidas pelos autores.
O autor além dos fatos acima, apresenta um outro elemento, que sem dúvida é consenso sobre a questão da “falta de memória” da sociedade brasileira. Esse fator seria:
O Catedrático do silêncio
O governo Dutra (1946-51) também foi responsável por várias trapalhadas no plano econômico, em virtude da adoção de uma política econômica liberal e o arrocho salarial. Estas medidas tiveram como consequências:
Em 1915, Salvador é a terceira concentração urbana do país, com 262.699 habitantes. A cidade perdeu a sua condição de capital do Brasil para o Rio de Janeiro, em 1763. Mas continuou sendo uma das mais importantes cidades do país. Em 1913, o livro Impressões do Brasil no Século Vinte assim descrevia: “Na Cidade Baixa, ficam as casas comerciais com seus armazéns e depósitos, mercados, Alfândega de Guerra e Marinha.ACidadeAlta, mais moderna, com suas ruas largas e bem calçadas, (...) compreende a zona dos bairros elegantes”.
Nessa época, já está adiantada a modernização de seu porto (iniciada em 1913), cujo movimento espelha a riqueza da região, principalmente, devido à exportação, de:
Nassau
O governo de Maurício de Nassau (1637/44) adotou uma política hábil, conciliando diversos interesses. Em 1645, a Companhia das Índias Ocidentais demite Nassau e adota uma postura que motiva a Insurreição Pernambucana (1645/54), tendo como causa principal a(o):
The Role of Museums in Education
Museums provide knowledge and inspiration, while also connecting communities. At a time of economic recovery, and in the run-up to the Olympics, they are more important than ever. Museums and galleries deliver world-class public services which offer individuals and families free and inspiring places to visit and things to do. Museums attract audiences from home and abroad. Museums provide the places and resources to which people turn for information and learning. They care for the legacy of the past while creating a legacy for the future.
Museums are uniquely egalitarian spaces. Whether you are rich, poor, or uniquely-abled, the museum door is always an open welcome. A sense of history and beauty, gifts from our cultural heritage, inspires the ordinary soul into extraordinary possibilities. They bind communities together, giving them heart, hope and resilience. They make a vital contribution to international relations and play a unique role in fostering international cultural exchange. If life was just about earning to eat, we'd be depleted and tired. Museums bring to life the opportunity to experience meaning beyond the mundane. Museums make the soul sing!
The most visible and expected offerings of a museum are its exhibitions. Exhibitions tell stories through objects. In a world where virtual experiences are ever increasing, museums provide tangible encounters with real objects.
What does looking at a crystal clear specimen of beryl, a vertebrate fossil emerging from its plaster jacket, or the flag that flew over Inge Lehman's seismological observatory provide in an educational sense? Some professionals maintain that the visceral reaction of wonder, awe or curiosity – the affective response of the viewer – is the enduring legacy of a museum visit. It opens the door to the visitor's mind, engaging them in a discipline that perhaps failed to interest them through other means, and might inspire them to learn more. Furthermore, the social context of a museum visit, where exploration occurs in a friendly atmosphere without the pressure of tests and grades, helps keep that door open.
Curators and educators also aspire to engage the rational mind of the viewer. A mineral collected in the field and displayed in the museum is out of its original context, but thoughtful juxtaposition of the mineral with other objects helps the visitor make new connections. Exhibit labels or a knowledgeable docent leading a tour not only inform directly, but also guide visitors in making their own observations of the object. Hands-on displays combined with objects can provide forceful connections – an “aha!” experience for the visitor.Alan J. Friedman, the former director of the New York Hall of Science, recounts a watershed experience during a 1970 museum visit in which a model telescope that the could touch and adjust brought to life the meaning of the antique telescope.
Museums are the world's great learning resource – they introduce new subjects, bring them alive and give them meaning. Learning in museums improves confidence and attainment: it also opens us to the views of our fellow citizens. Museum collections and the knowledge of museum professionals inspire learning. As the world around us changes, museums and galleries promote awareness of the critical questions of place, humanity, science and innovation.

“A arte barroca europeia surgiu no século 17 e espalhou-se por diversos países. No Brasil, chegou com os imigrantes portugueses 100 anos depois e foi marcante principalmente em Minas Gerais. Por ter sido adotada em contextos históricos tão diferentes, a qualidade de profissionais, a variedade de materiais e o estilo variam, até porque a Europa já tinha um histórico de produção artística e no Brasil os artistas eram autodidatas.”

Tesouro musical
Entre o fim do século XVII e meados do XIX, surgiu na Europa uma preciosa coleção de órgãos de igreja que, até hoje, se distingue pelas dimensões monumentais, pela riqueza de ornamentos e pelo som, de nitidez incomparável. De valor inestimável para a arte sacra e a música erudita, tendo sido uma das principais ferramentas de trabalho de compositores como o alemão Johann Sebastian Bach (1685- 1750), esses órgãos barrocos formam um surpreendente acervo no Brasil – tesouro pouco conhecido que, só agora, começa a vir à luz. O mérito é de uma pesquisa conduzida na Universidade Sorbonne, que catalogou os exemplares existentes no país. A lista não é extensa. De uma centena deles de que se tem registro no século XVIII, sobraram apenas quinze, dois dos quais em funcionamento. A coleção, modesta se comparada à de países europeus, chama atenção pelo exagero de pinturas e entalhes recobertos de ouro e ainda por uma peça que a torna singular: um instrumento de 1710 assinado pelo alemão Arp Schnitger (1648-1719), espécie de Antonio Stradivari, o célebre construtor de violinos, no mundo dos órgãos barrocos. Não há mais que trinta desses Schnitgers em uso. O do Brasil enfeita a Catedral da Sé de Mariana, em Minas Gerais, à qual foi doado em 1753 por dom José I, rei de Portugal. Restaurado, ainda se presta a belíssimos concertos de música barroca.
O atual trabalho ajuda a lançar luz sobre a história desses órgãos no Brasil – e também sobre a própria história do país. O propósito original ao trazê-los da Europa para a colônia era animar missas e arregimentar fiéis. “Esses instrumentos vão funcionar melhor do que as pregações”, escreveu ao rei o bispo de Salvador, dom Pero Fernandes Sardinha, em 1552, imbuído da missão de catequizar índios. No Brasil imperial, os órgãos barrocos se popularizaram, a exemplo do que ocorria àquele tempo nas cortes europeias. Na cena da coroação de dom Pedro I, em 1822, retratada por Debret, aparece ao fundo o órgão no qual se executou, naquela ocasião, composição de José Maurício Nunes Garcia, um dos grandes nomes da música barroca no Brasil (sim, houve uma profícua produção do gênero no país, ainda que com o previsível atraso e influências do classicismo). Tal órgão, do qual só permaneceu uma parte da caixa ricamente decorada, pode ser visto na antiga Catedral da Sé do Rio de Janeiro.
Nenhum instrumento produz, sozinho, acordes tão ricos quanto os órgãos barrocos. Seu princípio de funcionamento é o de um instrumento de sopro, mas, no lugar do pulmão humano, se faz uso de foles que enviam o ar, simultaneamente, a dezenas de tubos que emitem o som. É como se fosse um conjunto de flautas gigantes, com até 10 metros de altura. “O que distingue os modelos barrocos é que nenhum outro permite escutar com tamanha nitidez tantos acordes ao mesmo tempo”, afirma a especialista Elisa Freixo. Seu mecanismo garante que o ar chegue imediatamente aos tubos quando o teclado é acionado, processo que leva até meio segundo nos demais modelos – suficiente para a perda de limpidez do som. Eles também se diferenciam pela concentração de finíssimos tubos, de onde saem tons de um agudo extremo. Os órgãos fabricados mais tarde privilegiaram sons mais graves e difusos – o que os adequava a uma nova função, a de integrar orquestras.
Países como Espanha e Portugal, donos de valiosas coleções de órgãos barrocos, já se dedicam à conservação desses instrumentos há um século. “No Brasil, predomina o descaso”, diz o brasileiro Marco Aurélio Brescia, à frente da pesquisa da Sorbonne. Ele ficou chocado, por exemplo, ao encontrar na cidade mineira de Bom Jesus do Amparo destroços de um órgão barroco do século XIX, obra de um artesão local. Com o que sobrou, ainda é possível reconstruir o maquinário original. De outra preciosidade da coleção, o órgão do Mosteiro de São Bento, no Rio, só ficou de pé a caixa original – até hoje lá –, boa amostra da imponência barroca. Mesmo que com atraso, o inventário dessas obras é o primeiro passo para a conservação do tesouro que restou.
