Museo Amazónico, Cultural heritage museum in Iquitos District, Peru
Housed in an 1863 building at Jirón Morona 106, the Museo Amazónico displays exhibits about indigenous communities of the Amazon region through artifacts and sculptures.
The Ministry of Culture established the Museo Amazónico on March 15, 1996, to preserve and document the traditions of Amazonian indigenous populations.
The museum exhibits traditional clothing, tools, religious objects, and antique furniture that represent the daily life of various Amazon communities.
Visitors can explore the museum Monday through Friday and first Sundays from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:45 PM with guided tours available.
Artist Felipe Lettersten created life-sized fiberglass sculptures representing indigenous people from different communities across Peru, Brazil, and Venezuela for the museum collection.
