Created through community action, the museum explores Black contributions to Amazonian society and culture. Its name honours Josefa Pereira Laú, known as Tia Zezinha, who was born in Mazagão Velho. Documents, objects and artworks connect family histories with wider regional memory.

Beyond looking for old objects, consider who tells each story and how the collection connects ancestry with contemporary life. The institution works in dialogue with traditional communities, artists and researchers. Ask its team about exhibitions and interpretation, and follow guidance on photographing objects, people and cultural activities.
