During his recent visit to Acre, Brazilian comedian Whindersson Nunes stopped by the Rubber Museum in Rio Branco after arriving for a series of shows. Nunes, who is presenting his comedy spectacle, 'ISSO DEFINITIVAMENTE NÃO É UM CULTO!', took the time to engage with the museum's exhibits, which reflect the history of northeastern Brazilians migrating to Acre during the rubber boom. His posts on social media included photographs from the visit and emphasized the significant historical narrative surrounding this migration.

At the museum, Nunes participated in a latex extraction demonstration and shared moments of learning with the staff, particularly noting the impact of this migration on both the region and the lives of those who came to work in the rubber industry. He mentioned that approximately 60,000 northeasterners migrated to work during the first rubber boom, with over 20,000 losing their lives due to unfulfilled promises by employers. This revelation sheds light on the depth of the historical and cultural significance of the museum and the stories of resilience associated with this migration.

Nunes expressed gratitude towards the museum staff, especially to Soraia, who provided him with essential insights about the history of the northeastern migrants and their contributions to the region. His reflections underscore not only the personal connection he feels to the narrative but also the importance of remembering and honoring those who came before. As his tour continues with the final show planned for Saturday, his visit to the museum serves to bridge the past with the present, enriching the cultural experience for his audiences in Acre.
