Lonely Planet review for Museu do Índio
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 explanations seriously lacking. You’ll find similar pieces but a more modern and engaging presentation – and free admission! – at the Museu Amazônico.
