The museubrasil.org project is an achievement of the Instituto Brasiliana, which is sponsored by Petrobras.

The Center for Digital Culture of the Brazilian Center for Analysis and Planning (CEBRAP) collaborates with the production of content and support in the development of systems.

The project has the institutional support of the Brazilian Committee of ICOM (International Council of Museums).

The site offers information about all museums in four languages: Portuguese, French, Spanish and English. The news on temporary and permanent exhibitions, however, is still only in Portuguese.
