The Foundation has been dedicated to the preservation of history and regional memory, becoming a national and international reference institution in providing services, research and environmental and heritage preservation, acting in the areas of Archeology, Patrimonial Education and Ethnology; Speleology, Bioespeleology and Geospeleology; Geology; Environmental Education, Ethnobotany and Zoology.

Produção de conhecimento e lazer

Em 2010, aproximadamente 200 mil pessoas participaram das atividades da Fundação, número surpreendente e que coloca a Casa da Cultura como uma das entidades culturais e museológicas mais visitadas do país, mostrando assim o interesse do marabaense e dos moradores das cidades vizinhas em conhecer a sua memória e sua cultura.

Muito em breve o Museu Municipal de Marabá, que tem sede na FCCM, será desmembrado em Museu Histórico de Marabá Francisco Coelho, Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia e Museu de História Natural o que será fundamental para trabalhar as particularidades de cada Museu, observados o patrimônio cultural e científico regional e as manifestações materiais e imaterial por meio de acervos e exposições colocados a disposição da sociedade, com o intuito de promover e ampliar o campo de possibilidades da construção identitária da cidade de Marabá, de forma critica e ainda oportunizando a produção de conhecimento e lazer.
