The Indian Museum (Museu do Indio) here is run by Salesian sisters, who also operate missions in other parts of the Amazon. Upper-level exhibit rooms show objects that illustrate indigenous cultures and life. One room focuses on rituals and features sacred masks. Made from the bark of a tauari tree, each mask represents an animal. Masks are worn during the feast of “Wax-ti,” or jungle spirit.
Other rooms display tools and utensils, musical instruments and decorative artifacts. The room devoted to funerary objects and attire is also very interesting. A shop on the lower level sells handicrafts made by Indians connected to the Salesian missions.
