Lonely Planet review

Sandwiched between two churches and run by Salesian nuns, the Museu do Índio displays artwork, musical instruments, fishing and hunting tools, and ritual objects of indigenous groups from mostly Amazonas and Pará states. The collection is large and quite good, but the displays are artless and the explanations seriously lacking.

The Museu do Índio is a kilometer down busy Av Sete de Setembro from the centre. The Centro Cultural Palácio Rio Negro is on the way, but you may want to cab or bus it all the same; try bus 606 from the center.
