Museu Paleoarqueológico e Histórico Prefeito Bertoldo Jacobsen and its collection

The Museu Paleoarqueológico e Histórico Prefeito Bertoldo Jacobsen is a Brazilian institution dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage of Taió, a municipality in Santa Catarina. The museum was inaugurated on December 18, 2004, and is named in honor of the first mayor of the municipality. It focuses on themes of paleontology, archaeology, and local history.

Unique Fossil Collection

The museum houses a unique collection of fossils found in Taió, with similar ones only found in New South Wales, Australia. These fossils, which are approximately 280 million years old, mostly belong to the group of mollusks. The Heteropecten catharinae (Reed, 1930), named in honor of the state of Santa Catarina, is a highlight of the collection.

Preservation of Local History

The museum places a significant emphasis on the historical and cultural aspects of the German and Italian colonization of the municipality. It houses around 600 donations, including photographs and artifacts that belonged to families from Taió. The aim is to preserve and showcase the history of Taió.
