We visited the museum before the new year so it was actually not that busy. However, this museum was absolutely beautiful and really worked my brain. It's amazing everything they have here. I would definitely recommend for a first time visitor.

This museum will change your perspective on the immediate future, let’s say the next ten to twenty years. Through interactive stations, you can engage with saving water and earth resources and test your knowledge of how aware you are about pollution and the shrinking resources the earth can provide. I was there for well over two hours but would go back anytime soon again. The building itself is a truly fantastic work of art, built to resemble a spear in horizontal position that’s surrounded by and presumably floating on water. The white of the building itself and clean water surrounding the building is the apotheosis of peace and cosmic unity. Truly a place to meditate on our own place and responsibility toward one another and this earth.

Mildly interesting and peaceful visit. A calm escape from the busy city. We went on a rainy day so particularly perfect. Would recommend going early as you go in via an immersive 360 room. But I wouldn’t come at the expense of more interesting things.

This was an incredible museum for sure, and there are many interactive displays packed with tons of facts and figures, to make learning fun. However to be honest, it was a bit of overload to me, I couldn't process so much information and I got brain-freeze after awhile. This is a perfect place to get small doses, perhaps only an hour or two at most, and keep coming back to experience more.

This was amazing even if we didn't understand Portuguese for the initial video (where you lie on the floor. It's basic evolution of life video. The other displays have English. lots of visual exhibits about sustainability , environment, population growth etc.... On your way back there are lots of hands on exhibits. Good place to kill a few hrs. It's an Architectual marvel. The best part was if you are over 60 yr its FREE (need passport or ID). Students are only 15 Reals. So it was a very cheap attraction for us. To get there just take a uber there or if doing downtown RIO (steps, cathedral, reading room, mkt) then its an easy walk to the harbor. Note the worlds largest murals are 8 min walk afterwards. Don't miss Downtown RIO (most people only do beach and cristo sugarloaf.
