Museum of Tomorrow Rio De Janeiro
The Museum of Tomorrow in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, certainly lives up to its name. The Roberto Marinho Foundation funded its construction, which cost about 230 million reais. On December 17, 2015, President Dilma Rousseff attended the building's opening. The exterior is futuristic and reminiscent of life in the universe in the future.
The museum integrates science and art and focuses on why change is necessary to reverse climate change to avoid further denigrating the environment and social collapse and solutions for a better future. It’s a heady subject, told through a series of exhibits and interactive experiences. Since we’re on the topic of the future, here are things in your home that won’t exist in 10 years. The Museum’s exhibits will address issues including population growth and increased life expectancy, consumption patterns, climate change, genetic engineering and bioethics, the distribution of wealth, technological advances, and changes in biodiversity. The permanent exhibition is curated by physicist and cosmologist Luiz Alberto Oliveira and designed by Ralph Appelbaum, with the artistic direction of Andres Clerici.
Location: Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Time open: from Tuesdays to Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
