Museu dos Povos Acreanos
About This Museum
Tucked away on the bustling Avenida Epaminondas Jácome in the heart of Rio Branco, the Museu dos Povos Acreanos feels like a quiet conversation with the state's soul. It doesn't just display objects; it tells the sprawling story of Acre, from the rubber boom's grand promises to the quiet wisdom of the forest's original inhabitants. You can almost hear the whispers of seringueiros and feel the pulse of indigenous rituals within its walls. It’s a place that makes history feel present, a true keeper of our local memory.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate feather art and ceramic vessels from indigenous cultures, tools from the rubber-tapping era that speak of backbreaking work, and photographs capturing the faces that built this corner of the Amazon.
