Read Salvador collections with religious and cultural care
IPAC identifies MAM-BA as a museum for local, national, and international modern art and describes other Salvador museums and collections in historic buildings. These records support comparison across modern, contemporary, decorative, and community-linked material. Afro-Brazilian, Indigenous, Catholic, and Candomblé-associated objects or imagery require accurate authorship, function, provenance, and cultural authority; they should not be reduced to a generic Salvador design theme.
Document the candidate's maker, title, date, medium, dimensions, weight, condition, provenance, sacred or community role, rights, and handling limits. Engage appropriate community, curatorial, legal, and conservation expertise where context is incomplete. Compare museum works only through their labels and institutional interpretation. For the destination, photograph light and sightlines and let the verified room and owner's purpose guide suitability without appropriating identity.
