Museu Florestal Octávio Vecchi

The museum occupies a neocolonial building of 1000 square meters with marble staircases and thematic stained glass windows in the Alberto Löfgren State Park.

The museum opened in 1931 under the direction of Octávio Vecchi, who initiated forest preservation efforts through the State Forest Service in São Paulo.

The collection includes three thousand pieces featuring carved wood specimens, seed displays, furniture, and artistic works representing the diversity of São Paulo's trees.

Located at Rua do Horto 931, the museum functions as part of the Forest Institute and offers environmental education programs for visitors throughout the year.

Every wooden exhibit piece precisely replicates actual tree seeds and leaves, demonstrating the characteristics of different wood species through detailed carved panels.
