Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi
Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Natural history museum in Belém, Brazil.
The Emílio Goeldi Museum spans across three locations, including a 5.4-hectare zoological park, a research campus, and a scientific station in Caxiuanã forest.
Founded in 1866 by naturalist Domingos Soares Ferreira Penna, the museum received its current name in honor of Swiss naturalist Emílio Augusto Goeldi.
The museum preserves 15,000 ethnographic objects representing material cultures from 119 indigenous peoples of the Brazilian Amazon and neighboring regions.
The institution maintains research facilities, botanical gardens, zoological exhibits, and scientific collections containing over 4.5 million specimens and artifacts.
The museum houses the Jacques Huber Aquarium from 1911 and the Rocinha pavilion from 1879, which displays permanent and temporary exhibitions.
