MUSEU DO HOMEM DO NORTE

Amazonian anthropology is rich in more ways than one. Amerindian and Caboclas cultures tell the story of the region's history. A visit to this museum of the "man from the north" fits in perfectly with the visit to the museum of the Indian. Jars of curare, 3 m Makus blowpipes with their arrows, hammocks made of buruti or tucum thread, edged like lace, show the finesse of local art. Feather headdresses and wooden benches for ceremonies or reserved for chiefs are just some of the other treasures on offer.
