Memorial <strong>Brasil</strong>eiro do <strong>Design</strong><br />

Tão logo terminou a exposição principal da Bienal no Palácio<br />

Iguaçu, instalou-se o Memorial <strong>Brasil</strong>eiro do <strong>Design</strong>, no<br />

edifício da Secretaria de Estado da Cultura do Paraná, com<br />

acesso pela Rua Cruz Machado, no 98. Ainda que modesto,<br />

suas quatro salas deram lugar ao primeiro museu específico de<br />

design do continente americano e segundo no mundo, depois<br />

do <strong>Design</strong> Museum, às margens do Rio Tâmisa, em Londres.<br />

Lamentavelmente, esse ato pioneiro não ultrapassou o tempo<br />

de uma década, perdendo seu acervo e o início de significativa<br />

memória.<br />

Brazilian <strong>Design</strong> Memorial<br />

Soon after the Biennial main exhibit was over at Palácio Iguaçu,<br />

the Brazilian <strong>Design</strong> Memorial was set up in the building housing<br />

the Paraná State Department for Culture, with access via Rua<br />

Cruz Machado, no 98. Albeit modest, its four rooms housed the first<br />

museum dedicated specifically to design in the American continent<br />

and the second in the world, after the <strong>Design</strong> Museum on the banks of<br />

the Thames, in London. Sadly, that pioneering action did not survive<br />

one decade, losing its collection and the beginning of a significant<br />

history.<br />
