It is housed in a magnificent spaceship-like building that is set to become the center-piece of a larger regeneration project of the Porto Maravilha neighborhood.

Our guide Renato is the best! He made sure we understand the museum and provided a background story.
This is a unique museum. Partly scientific, partly philosophical, partly poetic, it is appropriately called Museum of the Future, because it is capable of helping us raise our consciousness level via contemplation, hopefully leading to acts of co-creation. Hats off.
There are no words for all the sensations that the Museum generated, not only for its exhibition artist, it is from the reception of the same building.
It is a very modern and thematic tomorrow inspired museum, it is in a place on the shores of Guanabara Bay with a beautiful view and admission is cheap.
Beautiful place, temporary exhibition on the dream and permanent exhibition on the human era since its appearance on this planet... Beautiful boat-shaped place facing Rio Bay. Have a good time, about 3 hours of visiting. There is a typical Amazonian restaurant at the end of the museum very nice but we did not go there...
Monica gave us many details about her beautiful city, the organization of the carnival, the monastery and of course the museum which was the original request. She is very knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and speaks excellent French. We were delighted with his service.
My afternoon with Jaqueline was nothing short of extraordinary. She wasn't just a driver; she was a knowledgeable guide, transforming my visit into an immersive experience. With each museum, she shared fascinating insights, painting vivid pictures that brought history to life. I was captivated by her passion for the city and her ability to tailor the tour to my interests. She truly went above and beyond, ensuring I left with a deeper understanding and appreciation. I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and dedication. Jaqueline, you are a 10/10 guide!
Thanks and satisfied with the services, special shoutout to our guide Renato. Happy for the said tour including information and history!
