I hereby wish to share a beautiful experience that I recently had while spending a few days on vacation in Brazil. We all know the long career of Prof. Mauro Romero on the subject of STDs, in particular syphilis. Without fear of being wrong, I believe that he is one of the people who made the most effort throughout his career for the elimination of syphilis in Brazil and Latin America. He always incorporates new original ideas, which are often beyond science, but which allow for a greater visualization of the problem and the awareness of the entire society.

Going through Rio de Janeiro and being able to visit the exhibition “Syphilis: History, Science, Art” was a privilege for me.

In the style of the best European museums, Mauro and his entire team present in four rooms at the Imperial Palace of Rio de Janeiro (Paço Imperial) a material, in many cases unpublished on the subject, divided into three thematic modules: historical, scientific, and artistic. The exhibition has the support of the Ministry of Health and aims to spread knowledge of the disease through public health, education, and art. The organizers carried out an exhaustive search of texts, documents, epidemiological data, historical and scientific works, and objects, in order to focus attention on the disease and promote awareness, especially in the prevention of its transmission during pregnancy.

Finally, I highlight the incorporation of interactive and artistic technological tools in the exhibition, which allows for a very pleasant time (Figures 1,2,3,4).

Congratulations to the entire team that integrates this project and I believe they should make the most of it since there was a lot of effort and commitment behind it.
