Museum do Homem do Norte

The Museu do Homem do Norte was opened on March 13, 1985, in Manaus, by the Joaquim Nabuco Foundation and today it is at the Cultural Center of the Peoples of the Amazon (CCPA). The objective, at the time of creation, was for a museum that could reflect the culture of the northern man, bringing together a significant collection that represented and reflected the characteristics and peculiarities of life in the northern region of Brazil, in the manner of the then existing in Recife, the Museu do Homem do Nordeste, with ideals of an anthropological and didactic museum inspired by the works of the sociologist and anthropologist Gilberto Freyre.
