Museu do Amanhã

We are, once again, in the limelight – as the Biggest Sporting event ever is coming to town!

Needless to say, we at Walpax Brazil Travel Partners are very excited and ready to show you what’s new.

A city bubbling with expectation and we’ve been about checking the hotels and venues.

To open your appetite, come with us on a visit to Museu do Amanhã / Museum of Tomorrow.

A new and baffling venue – the Museu do Amanhã / Museum of Tomorrow is a breakthrough in terms of architecture and museum, with exhibitions on what is going on in the world today and what is in store for tomorrow. It is a refreshing view of our reality using modern media and equipment to enchant the public. 

Award winning architect Santiago Calatrava explored the site to its best and created, without even knowing it, a unique venue as you can see in the photos. The next time you’re in town, we will take you there for a visit.

Museu do Amanhã

A fleet of vintage kombi vans invaded Rio – the kombis are spick and span and a thrill to “old timers” of all ages. On the way, they are stopped at a traffic jam that turns out to be a samba team waiting for them around the bend. How can one resist taking pictures and sending them on to family and friends?
Let our team show you the many possibilities our destination has to offer your clients.
