MUSA, founded in 2009, is an open-air museum in a segment of the Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve, a primary forest in the city of Manaus (Brasile). In 2002, an in situ botanical garden was created in the same area, which still grows and surprises. Its paths cut into 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 of Amazonian Research (INPA), who have deciphered most of its secrets, recorded in catalogs, articles and manuals. Musa Jardim Botânico is committed to disseminating them to the general public. Making knowledge a lever for the conservation and enhancement of the heritage that nature has left us as a legacy. It shows the visitor, live, in their natural habitat, plants, birds, insects, flowers and pollinators.
