Manaus Agile Amazonas tourism and cultureMuseum of the Amazon - Muse | Botanical Garden
O Museum of the Amazon (MUSA)founded in 2009, is a living, open-air museum in a segment of the Adolpho Ducke Forest ReserveForest Reserve, a primary forest in the city of Manaus. In the same area, in 2002, a Botanical Garden was created in situ (on site) was created which still grows and surprises.
Its trails cut through the dense fabric of trees, palms, and vines are illuminated by lights and shadows that reveal the dazzling diversity of shades of green and hide insects, birds, and pollinators.
The ecosystems, fauna and flora of the Ducke Reserve have been studied for over 60 years by researchers from the National Institute for Amazon Research (INPA), who have deciphered a good part of its secrets, registered in catalogs, articles and manuals. The Musa Botanical Garden is committed to making them known to the general public. Making knowledge a lever for conservation and appreciation of the heritage that nature bequeathed us. Show the visitor, live, in their natural habitat, plants, birds, insects, flowers and pollinators.
The Muse Botanical Garden is equipped with towers for observing the forest at different heights, exhibition tents, and pavilions in which themes dear to indigenous cultures, past and present, are revealed and celebrated. In prepared experimental laboratories we show the curious the magnified microworld.
The Muse is also an imaginary museum, because we offer the traveler, an attentive visitor, to travel the enchanted paths of the characters of the forest, who seek to be discovered, seen, to exist in the museum. "Characters in search of an observer."
