At the moment of opening the exhibition O Colecionador contains over 2500 newspaper cuttings classified in 64 essays ranging from "fragments", "Destroyed Roofs", "Buildings under construction" a "yellow flowers"; de "Ruins (abandonment)", "Archaeology: Excavations", "Temporary Constructions" a "Violet/ Brown Flowers". A diagram integrates the work, applied in vinyl on the wall, illustrating the classification system created by Mabe Bethônico and the collector.
In this first exhibition of O Colecionador (at least three more are planned, following this one), a folder containing an essay is selected from each main theme, to be exhibited in separate displays:

Construction: Box X: Gestures-Constructions and Others (48 cuttings )
Destruction: Box II: Buildings under destruction (29 cuttings)
Corrosion: Box VII: Holes on the ground I (35 cuttings) and
Holes on the ground II (20 cuttings)
Flowers: Box XI: Yellow and Reds (67)
---Tag subliminar---
Note that a subdivision has begun on the third folder, something that suggests the creation of a new folder. The other folders not exhibited can be accessed in the museum's library, from Monday to Friday from 1:00 to 6:00 PM. The open and changeable character of the work presents a challenge to the museum, which is extended to the role the spectator may assume in relation to it: Mabe Bethônico and the collector are open to receiving newspaper cuttings submitted by the spectator, related to the classification and themes of the Collector. Observation: contributions of newspaper cuttings may be submitted to the museum's library.
