Ecomuseu de Itaipu

The Ecomuseu de Itaipu is a museum located within the Itaipu Dam administrative area that displays collections of zoology, geology, botany, archaeology, and ethnography. The exhibition includes interactive models and various artifacts that document the natural world and history of this region.

The museum was founded in 1987 to preserve the story of the dam's construction and the changes it brought to the region. Its collection documents how the landscape and society were transformed during this large-scale project.

The museum displays photographs and archaeological objects that reflect how people lived in this region over time. These items tell stories about the communities that existed here before and during the dam's construction.

The museum is located within the dam's administrative area and offers guided tours that last about one hour. It is open Tuesday through Sunday and is easy to reach while exploring the region.

A major exhibition displays a large-scale model of the border region where three countries meet, helping visitors understand the geography of this unique location. A special sensory room lets you experience local seeds and plants from the environment.
