Museum of Tomorrow prepares program for the holiday period

During school holidays, children and teenagers need attractive activities to have fun during the period. One of the possibilities is to go to the Museum of Tomorrow, which since its opening on December 17, 2015, has welcomed this public with many events. The cultural space, in Praça Mauá, in the port region of Rio, prepared a program for this month of January with two exhibitions and various activities from the Playing is Science project.

Next Tuesday (9), the exhibition will open Open Source Art, which will continue until April 21st. The exhibition is an individual work by artist-programmer Vamoss, installed at the Laboratory of Activities of Tomorrow (LAA) and presented by Banco Santander. “It is an opportunity for the public to understand and see up close how programs that influence the day-to-day life of society operate in essential areas such as hospital machines, schools, cell phones and social networks, for example”, highlighted the organizers.
