Museu Sacaca, Research and cultural museum in Macapá, Brazil
Museu Sacaca is a research and cultural museum in Macapa that spreads across a large natural area. It combines outdoor exhibition paths with traditional Amazonian houses displaying regional lifestyles and natural science collections.
The museum was founded in 1997 through the merger of two specialized institutions in the city. This combination brought together natural science and ethnographic collections under one research-focused organization.
The museum displays crafts and objects from indigenous, riverside, and extractivist communities that have shaped the Amazon region. Visitors can observe traditional practices and see how these groups connect with their natural surroundings.
The grounds are large, so visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow plenty of time to explore all areas. Pathways run through natural surroundings and between houses, which can become muddy during rain.
The museum runs a program where community members directly interact with visitors and demonstrate their daily practices. These face-to-face meetings let guests gain authentic insights into regional life that go beyond what exhibits alone can show.
