A court in Roraima has mandated that the state government build a new headquarters for the Integrated Museum of Roraima (MIRR) due to previous neglect and abandonment of the museum's historical and cultural collection, which has raised public concern. The ruling, issued on January 29, 2026, requires the completion of the new site within 360 days and imposes a penalty of R$ 50,000 for collective moral damages resulting from the state’s failure to properly care for the museum’s assets. In response to the ruling, the state’s Attorney General's Office filed an appeal, claiming that the timelines set by the court are unfeasible for spontaneous compliance. The government argues that the complexities involved in the construction and proper cataloging of the museum’s collection cannot be met within the timeframes specified. Meanwhile, the Secretary of Culture and Tourism stated that plans for the new headquarters and technical cataloging are already in place, but acknowledges the need for more time to ensure that the tasks can be completed safely and accurately. This situation reflects ongoing challenges in the maintenance of cultural heritage sites in Roraima, highlighting the tension between judicial mandates and governmental capabilities in fulfilling them. The ruling will likely provoke discussions regarding the prioritization of cultural investments, state accountability, and the importance of preserving historical assets that serve as crucial components of local identity and education in the region.
