Museu da Borracha Governador Geraldo Mesquita, Rubber industry museum in Rio Branco, Brazil.
The museum exhibits tools, photographs, and documents that demonstrate rubber extraction techniques and processing methods from the Amazon region throughout history.
Established in 1978, the museum occupies a former rubber factory building, preserving the legacy of Brazil's rubber production during the early 20th century.
The exhibition includes a reconstructed rubber tapper's house with kitchen utensils, clothing, shoes, and equipment used in latex extraction activities.
Located at Avenida Ceará 1441 in Rio Branco, the museum offers guided tours for groups up to 20 people from Wednesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Interactive projections display rubber tappers during latex smoking and weighing processes, accompanied by audio testimonies from rubber soldiers about their recruitment.
