About
The Museu do Amanhã, or Museum of Tomorrow, stands on the waterfront in Praça Mauá, in the Centro district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is an applied science museum that looks ahead, using its exhibits to explore humanity's future challenges and the opportunities that come with them.
What to expect
The museum is built around questions rather than a fixed collection of old objects. Visitors are invited to think about how people live, work and care for the planet, and how science and technology might shape the years ahead. It suits anyone curious about the future, whether they come with children, with friends or on their own.
Planning your visit
- Location: Praça Mauá, 1, Centro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 20081-240, Brazil.
- Setting: its waterfront position makes it a pleasant stop for a walk along the harbour area.
- Pairing: the Centro district offers other cultural sites and cafés within easy reach, so the museum fits well into a half day or a full day of exploring downtown.
Because the museum's exhibits are designed to provoke thought, a visit tends to suit those who enjoy discussion and reflection as much as looking at displays. Check the museum's own channels before you go for current opening times, ticket details and any special programmes.
