Cultural Foundation of Curitiba - Moinho Rebouças - Part 2

The Curitiba Cultural Foundation (FCC), after implementing an extensive restoration of cultural areas in Curitiba, has won in 2006 the Moinho Rebouças as a space to be its new headquarters and a place to conduct its cultural activities. The change may seem odd, but not if we take into account some aspects. The most famous theater operated by the institution was powder room. The largest concert hall in the city - also in charge of the foundation - is an old quarry. The building that houses an important classical orchestra is a chapel. And the theater “Novelas Curitibanas” administrated by the Cultural Foundation of Curitiba, once was a brothel.

The building burned down in 1942. Only in 2002, already as a Curitiba Cultural Foundation property, it was reopened. The Moinho Rebouças is a symbol of the revitalization project of the Rebouças district with activities of culture, leisure and business.
