Itinerary and highlights
The Museum of Tomorrow is devoted to exploring the possibilities of a sustainable future through interactive artifacts that bring science, art, technology and culture together. 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.
From this spot you can see the beautiful Guanabara Bay. Admire the view and take pictures. Take the time to see the statue of Barão de Mauá and find out more about this visionary that provides the name for this square.
