Museu do Homem Americano, Archaeological museum in São Raimundo Nonato, Brazil
The Museum of the American Man holds collections from 700 archaeological sites containing ancient paintings, tools, and artifacts from Serra da Capivara National Park.
Brazilian and French scientists established the Museum Foundation in 1973, leading to extensive research projects and archaeological discoveries in the surrounding region.
The permanent exhibition displays 90 pieces documenting human evolution over 100,000 years, from early hominids to European colonization in America.
The facility maintains technical reserves for archaeological, paleontological, zoological, and botanical materials, alongside dedicated research laboratories.
This institution stands as one of Brazil's few archaeological centers qualified for evolutionary bone analysis from the Holocene period.
