Museu de Arqueologia de Itaipu, Archaeological museum in Niteroi, Brazil.
The Archaeological Museum of Itaipu occupies historic ruins near the beach in Niteroi, featuring exhibits about prehistoric human settlement in the region.
Founded in 1977, the museum building was previously a women's shelter called Recolhimento de Santa Teresa, established in 1764 by Manoel da Rocha.
The museum preserves artifacts from the Duna Grande archaeological site, including stone tools and ceramics used by indigenous peoples over 1,500 years ago.
The museum offers a 360-degree virtual tour allowing visitors to explore seven open courtyards and two exhibition halls from their devices.
The collection includes a 6,000-year-old infant funeral urn and a 19th-century jequitibá wood canoe donated by local fishing communities.
