Codelco (Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile) is a state-owned Chilean copper mining company that owns a collection of over 3,000 items from several periods and places. These objects show that copper has been vital to the development of humankind from prehistoric times to the present day. From September 24 to November 4, 2007, the Museu Carlos Costa Pinto is holding an exhibition of about 500 pieces from the Codelco collection to enable the Bahian public to get to know the history of this important metal. The CIVILIZATION AND COPPER exhibition is divided into three modules: Historic Beauty, Universal Presence and Hidden Copper. Through this exhibit, the public will get to know the oldest and most varied uses of this red-colored metal, and enjoy art objects created with extraordinary craftsmanship and beauty, as well as finding out about the currently invisible uses of copper, which is present in our homes and workplaces on a daily basis. This exhibition shows copper from three different angles that come together to give an overview of its past, present and future importance to the development of humankind.
