The Museum of the American Man (Portuguese: Museu do Homem Americano) is a museum located in the municipality of São Raimundo Nonato, in the state of Piauí, which is also home to the Serra da Capivara National Park, one of the country's main archaeological conservation places, with more than 700 archaeological sites that contain paintings dated back to more than 12 thousand years ago.

"[3] The focus of the permanent exhibition, whose collection has approximately 90 pieces,[6] is the trajectory of the human being, starting 100,000 years ago, at the beginning of the evolution of hominids, and going all the way to the arrival of the European colonizers in America.

It brings theoretical elements on how the American continent was populated and on the evolution of prehistoric men, between the Pleistocene and Holocene periods, in addition to items such as funerary urns, lapidary objects, drawings, skeletons, bones, and characterization of the region's fauna and flora in the past.

[6][3][7] At the end of the exhibition, the visitor can see genuine bones, images, and engravings drawn on the walls of the reserve, as well as a description of a survey of the vast fauna that the region used to hold.

[1] Besides the preservation of archeological findings and the permanent exhibition, the site also studies the interaction between man and the environment, from prehistoric times to the present day.
