Produced between 1952 and 1956, the panels have about 14 meters high x 10 meters wide and was commissioned by the Brazilian Government to be exposed at the headquarters of the United Nations (UN) in New York. In 2010, due to a major reform in the UN headquarters, custody of the panels was entrusted to the Portinari Project to the end of 2014.
At that time, the panels were restored and exhibited in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte, attracting 320,000 people and becoming one of the most successful and largest impact exhibitions of Brazilian history.
