In 2008, professors and students of the Physics Department of the Federal University of Pará realized a pioneering initiative for the dissemination of the History of Science in the Brazilian Amazonia. This initiative, named Physics Interactive Museum, started to act in partnership with the Amazonian community, its governmental organizations, other universities, state and municipal schools of the Pará State aiming to collaborate with the enhancement of the quality of science education in the region. We present the activities of the Physics Interactive Museum and the impact of its participation in the dissemination of History of Science in the Brazilian Amazonia.
