Fundação Mar - Fundação Museu de História, Pesquisa e Arqueologia do Mar

Fundação Mar – Fundação Museu de História, Pesquisa e Arqueologia do Mar is a private, non-profit museum founded in 1991 in São Sebastião, on the northern coast of São Paulo state. The collection developed from research into roughly 30 known shipwrecks along the local coast and includes objects recovered from centuries-old vessels, alongside marine biology displays of whale and dolphin skeletons and shells. The museum also operates Brazil's first 360º virtual marine museum and runs maritime history and environmental-education programmes.
