Museu da Amazonia (MUSA)

Created in January 2009, Musa sits on a 100-hectare area at the Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve, belonging to the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia [National Institute for Amazonia Research] - INPA, in Manaus, a native dryland forest area that has been passionately studied for the last 50 years. The results of this research, compiled in catalogs that broach topics such as plants, birds and frogs, tell what Musa wants to show visitors. At Musa, one can find exhibitions, an orchid and a bromeliad house, a lake, aquariums, and experimental snake, insect, and butterfly labs. A 42-meter high tower provides a magnificent view of the treetops, unforgettable at 6 am. Forest trails allow visitors to take pleasant walks and make surprising discoveries. At Musa, we develop research on science popularization and scientific and cultural education. A house of culture and science, of relationships and the celebration of diverse beings in the world. A place where humans and non-humans live happily together.

The park/museum is a bit run down - the lack of investment if keeping the facilities is palpable. Nevertheless, it is worth a visit. You can take easy and safe walks into the Amazon jungle inside the park, and if you climb the ~200 steps that lead to the top of a metal observation tower you can see the resident monkeys playing around the trees canopy. The park also holds a pond with the water lilly Vitoria Regia. The museum/park sits in the limit of the city of Manaus, so prepare for a 40 mins taxi ride to get there. You might need to call an Uber to go back to the city since taxis are inexistent in this part of the city. Nothing in this park is friendly to the person with reduced mobility.

It takes a bit of doing to get to the rubber museum. A long boat ride after a long drive out to Ponta Negra. But it's worth it. The site was originally built for a movie, but it appears authentic. You really need a guide to explain things as the signage is not great. You get a great idea of what life as a rubber baron as well as life as a worker was like. One of the highlights of Manaus.
