Museu do Amanhã

Very geo centric museum. Lots of overpopulation, human induced decay on the world we live in messaging. I did, however, enjoy just browsing the exhibits. Lots of space for much more though. Some rooms were more of an art exhibit versus museum of tomorrow type of themes I expected. There is a new construction occurring in the rear section of the footprint which will likely help reduce the mayhem of the initial entry to the museum, small cafe, and add more to see. The walkway around the museum is closed due to construction (OCT ‘25)

Never in my life haveI experienced anything so beautifully and thoughtfully, futuristically thought out clean inspirational Innovative just super wonderful like art gallery just everything about it seemed futuristic another world, but at the same time one of the most innocuous lamest museums I’ve been into in my life, it’s just super lame. You can totally passes and never miss it in your life. It’s like it’s just people come here just for a reason to go out and dress up and be seen take pictures for instagram a major disappointment which is ironic beautiful as it is.

20 reais if u are 6-21. and 40 reais for anyone above that. they have student discounts and others too. but u need to bring the id. the museum itself was cool to look at but way too many words. not interactive enough. i didn’t feel i like reading. i could’ve just read a book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this place I would definitely put it on the must see list for your visit to Rio if you have the time. Make sure you watch the 360 video laying on the mats on the floor. If they are all taken wait and see it later.

Nicely done museum that uses a lot of technology and statistics to create awareness of social, environmental and geopolitical problems. It is less an interactive museum than an informative one. It was good for an afternoon.

A great experience to showcase the sustainability narratives to the people! My favorite is the one that the people sit between about 7 big screens showcase many disasters and climate change because of our impacts. It definitely deep and have lasting impact to myself. I also loved the one that showcasing the biodiversity and we as a person is one of the ecosystem 💚✨️ It would be great if you spend 3 hours here to experience the details one by one. I havent got any time to experience all the details.

The building is very interesting, but the exhibits are underwhelming. They're mainly educational with an environmental focus. However some of the information is wrong. In the interactive game , I was given a wrong answer for saying nuclear power would have low carbon emissions when in reality it's even lower than solar.

Very nice and interesting museum. The concept is very good and names a lot of sense to be in Brazil the land of Amazon. It's promotes saving the planet

There is not much to see here as a tourist. I mean the exhibits are good, but I recommend you coming here if only if you are interested in the topic. The museum is located in the middle of the shipping piers. So you can't swim in the water. The views are great but are occasional interrupted by the shipping companies. The museum itself has a unique design. But 50% of the museum is exposed to the hot Brazilian sun. In one of the hallways it is even hotter than being hot side because the windows and enclosed space acts like a greenhouse. In other-worlds the museum design has hints of Gaudi but does not follow the concept of form and function. As a tourist I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you had specific business or coming for the exhibit.

Yelp Review 2025 #179: I originally wanted to visit this museum because of its architecture. It reminds me of Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias in Valencia, Spain. Museu do Amanha or Museum of Tomorrow is a nice museum in the Centro area of Rio focusing on visually presenting in a scientific method how our current affects our future. During my visit, the exhibits had climate crisis (no longer climate change) as the theme. Full-price tickets are 40 Brazilian Reais or under $8 which is not bad at all. If you want to check out specific exhibits, it's extra. The goal is to hopefully, open up our eyes as to how our actions or lack thereof affect our future in 50 years time or future generations. And bring awareness so we can make better choices. The resources we enjoy now may not be around in the future - nothing lasts forever unless, we do better. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and this museum was packed! I would've picked a different day and time but that's just how my itinerary worked. I only did a quick walk until I got overwhelmed by the crowd and I left. You can take pictures without flash/ annoying selfie sticks and short video clips in all areas of the museum except for Cosmos. There's a shop and a cafe. There are also vendors outside the museum selling popcorn, churros and açaí bowls. It turns out the architecture looked familiar because Museum do Amanha and Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias were designed by the same Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava.

An unexpected treat! We decided to check out this museum when someone suggested it to us. The current exhibition focuses on sustainability and climate change. There was a series of amazing pieces, installations, interactive artworks, amd digital pieces throughout the entire 2nd floor. The architecture of the museum itself is a marvelous work of art. Highly recommend.

The Museu do Amanha (Museum of Tomorrow) came up on a lot of lists of things to do in Rio. My friends and I weren't particularly interested in it, but it happened to be around a lot of the other places on our sightseeing list so we decided to go. We booked our tickets online to avoid waiting in line. It was a little difficult but nothing a little auto-translate couldn't fix. The structure of the museum itself is pretty interesting. True to its name it does seem very futuristic. The future is the theme of the whole museum. It focuses on humans and our impact on the climate/environment which shapes how the future might look. At the start of the museum you're given a card that's supposedly an assistant but I found registration to be clumsy and the card was largely unhelpful. I think you can skip it. Naturally, the exhibits are mainly in Portuguese but they have reasonable accommodations for English speakers like myself. I'm sure the exhibits rotate throughout the year along with some mainstays. Of course some things are more interesting than others. Your admission includes a viewing of a film in a sphere thing but the movie overall was pretty meh. It was nice and cold in the theater though. There is an outdoor area but it was closed off when we went because they were setting up for a nighttime Carnival event. Overall it was a fun experience. I wouldn't say it's a must-see, but for $5USD it's worth it. It was also a nice way to get out of the sun for 1-2 hours!

The last two years In Rio I've gone to the museum of Mañana and they always have new exhibits in there and the gift shop is one of the best gift shops anywhere that I've been to

A surprisingly fun visit. There's a lot of focus on climate and our current and future impact on it but my favorite exhibit was the room with all the pictures grouped together by a theme. So you'd have something like 'family' or 'creativity' and pictures from around the world highlighting how people, or the things people create, fit into the theme. Overall, it was really interesting and worth visiting!

The museum of tomorrow is exactly what the name entails. It is dedicated to the future of our planet. I was expecting more, but did enjoy what I saw. Starting with the building. It looks very futuristic and modern hovering over the water. The entrance fee was pretty cheap. If I remember correctly, it was under $10usd. You walk into a modern, spacious, well air conditioned building. (I think you will be extremely happy with the fact that you get to get out of the heat for a while). The first thing you see above you is the earth with rotating facts on how it is being affected by our natural disasters. On the second floor, they have an exhibit that lasts a few minutes. It seemed really great, but unfortunately it was in Portuguese only. I did enjoy the graphics and the opportunity to lay down and rest for a while. The rest of the museum continues on the second floor. It is mostly facts and figures. I am glad I went, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to go a second time.

I like to say that this museum is about ok. It's intent is to raise awareness for our future nd how we can impact nature for our actions. Great overall idea I must say. However to me the execution and the the arrangement of entertainment is weird and uneven. If you plan coming here keep in mind that this location is closed on Mondays as any regular museum, now to avoid any huge unnecessary lines at your arrival go and buy the tickets online. The online entrance is a lot quicker. If you are a Brazilian citizen make sure to bring an ID as Brazilian natives now receive discounts in attractions around the town. Some attractions require you to actually reside in Rio but tryusing your brazilian ID even if you dotn reside in Rio because sometimes it does work. Once you get in here they will hand you a card called "IRIS" you will see a station to register your card. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. This registration is not necessary and I actually did it and nothing really special happened besides the fact that now I have a bunch of emails spam from the museum in my Inbox. The museum itself was meh, the attraction has different stations that are boxes, one for DNA another for brain one for some warnings to have more environmental consciousness and so on. They were 'll very interesting to look at for a couple of minites, but to me there were a lot of screens and not much of the museum experience. I felt like I was watching a lot of tv . Now the main attraction is this planetarium style round 360 movie theatre, the line was 60minutes plus and the movie lasts 8 minutes. The movie was meh and definetly not worth the wait. My overall impression is that the museum of tomorrow has a lot of potential, however it is far from being there yet. When and if you come try to avoid as many lines as possible otherwise you will get really annoyed as I was.

This place is really neat. We came on our last day at Rio and loved it.

One of my favorites museums. The facade is excellent, the location is beautiful and the representation of future and humanity is very well done. Uno de mis museos favoritos. La fachada es excelente, la ubicación es divina y la representación del futuro y la humanidad está muy bien lograda.

Unless you speak and/or read Portuguese, you won't get much out of this museum. Although we didn't go through the entire museum, the things we did see were daily household items from 50 years ago. . . .how is that the Museum of TOMORROW? Don't waste your time going there!

Heard about this new museum opening and one of the few done before the start of the Olympics (although it's opening was already delayed) and we had to check it out. Apparently it's free museum day on Tuesdays, so that was an added incentive but that also made the line to get in, incredibly long. Especially because everyone is on holiday, it was so crowded. Luckily we showed up early, near museum opening and the initial line dwindled quickly as they let people in. It took an hour to get in, but the line continued to grow after us. Fear not though, those who love waiting in line, there's was yet another line to see the main attraction, the movie projection on a domed wall. It was only an 8 minute movie but took another hour to get in to see. The movie was cool, but may not be worth such a long wait. Do sit on the ground pillows and take in the movie from the floor. The temporary exhibit was a walk through movie which also had a line but only a few minutes. It showed an artistic interpretation of the destruction of a well know bridge downtown. It was neat to watch it projected on the side walls of a curvy hallway and walk and watch. Well, we misread the website about the free beer section. It meant that you could try and make your own and the recipe was free and the brewing process was open source. They also allow you to print off your own design for a lantern. These labs were supposedly open but I didn't see anyone doing them or anyone assisting. There was also a small cafe with some offering but it was far too crowded to see much of it. The restaurant in the back is not open yet so don't go on a hungry stomach (especially with all the waiting in line). There's a decent gift store at the front. They sell Rio type memorabilia and some things I think I've seen in the MAR (museu do arte de Rio) across the plaza and other tourist shops. They even sell a bike. The views are great and worth a look around. There's lots of interactive touch screens and a card that is suppose to interact with you (ours didn't work) and different stations. It's very modern and artsy inside. Cool addition to pier Mauá!

Beautiful museum all around. The architecture of the building it self is what stood out the most to me, it could be an empty space and the building would still provide majesty. It's in a great location and provides a great tourist opportunity outside of the amazing beaches.

It's really cheap to get in but fairly small the graphics and quality is impressive for the price. You might not enjoy the main attraction if you don't speak English. Overall satisfied. Be sure to purchase on their website as lines were huge at the door

Amazing museum. Totally worth visiting. Spanish and english explanations available. What kind of knowledge and world dou tou want to leave for the next generations?

Visit it. Not only the museum but the place where it is, Praça Maua, is a local with a lot of history. Visit also the place near here called Pedra Do Sal,

The architecture and location of the museum is very beautiful and worth seeing. The actual museum was well structured and beautiful but not as creative or bold as my fiancé and I were expecting it to be (maybe we were just too old). It had a two or three areas that really caught my eye and interest but that was about it. I was expecting to see more than I did. Although my comment sounds negative, i am not intending it to be! I am simply wanting to inform that only two or three areas were unique and interesting, the rest was fast and not very creative. The areas that I did find interesting were very informative and captivating and showed hard work, capturing different cultures and ideas around the world. It was pretty cheap to enter and the wait was not that long when we went, which was around June. If you are in the area, it is worth seeing and taking pictures outside in front of the beautiful architecture!

I visited the museum of tomorrow today. The museum is quite interesting and I found it to be generally positive but it had some deep contradictions. The primary contradiction is that it paints a very clear portrait of the devastation of the environment caused by human activity, yet the solutions proposed are lacking the scale of the problem. The solutions were hyper individualized, focusing on personal consumption. Although there was a little disclaimer that decisions by governments on things like roads impact the lifestyle of individuals it was clear that the focus was on personal choice and not systemic changes. The website also features prominently a quotation that translates to "not expected only by law, there must be a change in the personal level." There was a game supposed to be about working together but consisted of individual choices about how to allocate resources in different areas. The critique of individual consumption is important and should not be ignored, but to focus purely on that and not include a systemic critique of capitalism and its growth imperative, which mandates ever increasing production and consumption to match, is to abstract from the root of the problem. It seems highly likely that this abstraction is due to the funding of the project coming from Santander, a massive corporation dependent on the continuation of the status quo and complicit in the problem through their involvement with and financing of oil companies including Petrobras. Another sponsor is BG group, a natural gas company. This contradiction should be obvious to all. At a more surface level the excessive air conditioning, to the point that my hands were cold when I departed, as well as the gift shop, which sold the same type of nick-nacks that all museum stores with no indication that they came from any sustainable source, the cafe also said that "eating is an agricultural act" but made no indication that their food was from permaculture, or even organic. If they want to focus on individual choices clearly they are not making them.

If tomorrow is anything like this museum it's going to be filled with waiting. We had to wait 30 minutes to buy tickets, then another 30 minutes for the first exhibition. Also the price listed online is R$10 but they charged us R$20
