Visitors can also explore content regarding the history of the Biennials, interacting with the building's architecture through a series of QR codes distributed across the columns.

The Galeria da Cidade is hosting the exhibition Lelé: um Projeto de Brasil (Lelé: A Project for Brazil), featuring the work of architect João da Gama Filgueiras Lima. The exhibition presents and honors a career spanning over half a century, celebrating an architect who masterfully united conception, design, and construction, always with a focus on climatic conditions and a dialogue with geography, energy efficiency, and raw material conservation. The virtual opening will take place on February 11 at 6:00 PM on the Escola da Cidade YouTube channel. The exhibition runs from February 12 to May 20, 2022, with free admission and mandatory mask-wearing.
