Museum of Tomorrow

Rio de Janeiro Top 3 in Must-Visit Museums

This museum is very visual and interactive. There are a lot of exhibits about our global impact as nations and individuals, and inspires visitor to want to make a change in the way they are affecting the planet.

What looks like a spaceship perched on the edge of Rio's port is perhaps the most fascinating and captivating architectural wonder I have ever seen. The museum itself is well-guided and full of information about space, time and evolution. My favorite part is the outside esplanade which captures a fantastic view of the city from all angles.

The World Cup has come and gone, but the Olympics are just a year away, so Rio is still in rejuvenation mode: in 2015, visitors will be welcomed by an unusual new structure, a fish-shaped marvel alongside the water conjured by Santiago Calatrava. Museu do Amanhã (the Museum of Tomorrow) will examine science, humanity, and how our choices and actions are impacting our future. Expect interactive exhibits dedicated to population growth, climate change, and human behavior—and to leave with a newfound awareness of our planet and resources.

Interactive exhibitions on outer space, the Earth and its biodiversity, the impact of humankind on the world, and the future of the main currents and challenges of the Earth.

There are not many niche visitors in this museum, and there are not many exhibits inside, but I think there is still something that touches me. The focus here is more on our human beings and our future.
