Hello fellows!
Concluding our participation and activities on Wiki Loves Earth, we
organized an exhibition during the event "Paraty em Foco" in the
historical city of Paraty - Rio de Janeiro.
During the event (Sep 24-28) the exhibition received near 1.500
visitors daily and the exhibition continued until October 12.
The exhibition was exhibited inside the Casa da Cultura, an historical
building constructed during the 18th century
(

that is a cultural reference in the region.
Students from the near islands/beaches visited the exhibition during
Paraty em Foco, as you can see here

I've published some pictures and information about the exhibition here

(in portuguese)
We received a lot of visibility during the WLE, generating excellent
results for Wikimedia Commons. Near 900 new users and 7.000 photos
uploaded.
The contest and exhibition was published in many sites and blogs,
including a printed magazine with 50.000 copies distributed around all
Brazilian states.
