In this essay, we draw on literature and research findings on museum education, bioculturality, and decoloniality, conducting a critical analysis of the marks of colonization on the trajectory of museums. We also discuss the challenges and possibilities of addressing the tensions between colonial heritage and a biocultural reinvention from within the communities present in this trajectory. We analyze the case of the Ecomuseum of the Amazon/PA/BR, a museum and educational space that values ​​local knowledge and practices as a possibility to offer indications, however limited, of building other worlds in the face of globalized capitalism.
