The Amapá Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, known as MAE, introduces societies that inhabited the region long before the capital developed. Established within the state's cultural administration in 2007, it undertakes research, collection preservation and education. The tourism inventory highlights objects inspired by Maracá and Cunani cultures and photographic records of Macapá's changing landscape.

Begin by distinguishing original objects, replicas and interpretation materials: each can teach, but in different ways. Look at shapes, uses and context, and ask how archaeological knowledge connects with Indigenous peoples today.

Building work was reported between December 2024 and March 2025. Check which rooms and exhibitions currently welcome visitors before setting out; some museum activities take place at other venues.
