Museu Sacaca connects scientific research with the knowledge of Amazonian peoples. Its history includes earlier natural-history and medicinal-plant museums incorporated into Iepa. Its name honours Raimundo dos Santos Souza, known as Sacaca, a plant expert, storyteller and figure in Amapá's carnival.
The open-air exhibition, inaugurated on 5 April 2002 with community participation, explores ways of living, working and travelling in Amazonia. The regatão trading boat helps explain connections between rivers and communities, while archaeological displays reach further into the region's past. Read objects, buildings and narratives together, without treating the peoples represented as cultures frozen in time. Ask staff about current exhibitions, guided interpretation and accessible areas.
