The Museum of Tomorrow, or Museu do Amanhã, is a science museum on the waterfront at Píer Mauá in Rio de Janeiro. Santiago Calatrava designed it, and the article calls his work neofuturistic. It does not name a client, though the Roberto Marinho Foundation supported construction. The article gives 230 million reais as the cost and 15,000 square meters as the area. It gives no materials or construction dates.
It opened on December 17, 2015, with President Dilma Rousseff attending. The design combines science with a focus on sustainable cities and an ecological world. Visitors move through five areas called Cosmos, Earth, Anthropocene, Tomorrow and Us, using experiments and interactive displays.
The article presents the museum as an icon of the port area's renewal ahead of the 2016 Summer Olympics, meant to strengthen Rio's cultural and international identity. It gives no hours or admission details.
