Lonely Planet review for Museu do Homem do Norte

The Museu do Homem do Norte (Museum of Northern Man) is an ethnology and anthropology museum dedicated to the lifestyle of the people of northern Brazil. There's a particular focus on the riverbank-dwelling Caboclos (literally 'copper-coloured') people, the mixed descendents of indigenous people and Portuguese.

The collection includes an interesting array of Indian weapons, including the vicious furador de olhos (eye piercer).
