Memorial dos Autonomistas
In its spiffy home just uphill from the Palacio Rio Branco, the Memorial dos Autonomistas has a permanent display on the history of Acre's battle for statehood - hence the center's name - plus space for rotating art exhibits, typically paintings and sculptures by local artists.

Museu da Borracha
Housed in a beautifully restored mansion, the Museu da Borracha has three small rooms for permanent exhibits: one explains the extraction and processing of rubber, while the others have displays on archaeology, the Acrean Revolution and the cult of Santo Daime. The plaques are all in Portuguese, but there are several English-speakers among the cadre of staff and docents, and they are occasionally available for free tours.

Palacio Rio Branco
Acre's first capital building, the imposing Palacio Rio Branco is now mostly a tourist attraction. A maze of interconnected rooms contain interesting and well-done displays on prehistoric artifacts, indigenous communities, Chico Mendes and the Acrean Revolution. Docents are available for free guided tours, though you'll have to understand Portuguese. (Same goes for the all displays.)
