Museu do Rio Cuiabá, River history museum in Cuiabá, Brazil.
The Museu do Rio Cuiabá occupies a neoclassical building that displays artifacts, photographs, and exhibits about the Cuiabá River and its ecosystem.
The museum building, constructed in 1899, formerly served as the Fish Market where riverside communities and fishermen gathered for Sunday trading.
The collection features local crafts, religious art, and scale models that document the evolution of Cuiabá and its connection to the river.
The Municipal Department of Culture manages the museum, which provides guided tours and maintains regular exhibitions about regional natural resources.
The museum building received its name from Hid Alfredo Skaf, a merchant of Arab descent who was instrumental in the original fish market operations.
