MUMA - Capuchin friars Indian missionary museum of Umbria in the Amazon

The Indios missionary museum - Capuchin friars of Umbria in the Amazon (in acronym MUMA) was born in 2011, but in Assisi a museum dedicated to the Capuchin missionaries existed since 1973.
The creative spirit was of Father Luciano Matarazzi, a passionate friar from the Amazon who built the Indios Missionary Museum through gifts that the missionaries brought him by commuting between the Brazilian region of Alto Solimões and Assisi.

The protagonists of the museum story are three: the Capuchin missionaries who have worked in the Amazon from 1909 to today, the Ticuna Indians, native inhabitants of that region, and the Rio Solimões, the only real existing communication route.

The Amazon that one encounters here is true in the sounds, objects, testimonies and panoramas it offers to the visitor.
