Das Museum sollte man gesehen haben. Schon das Gebäude ist beeindruckend in seiner Architektur und seiner Lage. Auch der Olympiaboulevard mit den von Kobra gestalteten Wänden gleich nebenan ist sehenswert. Man braucht dafür aber sicher keinen Guide, es sei denn, er kann wirklich inhaltlich etwas zu den Ausstellungen und Kunstwerken vermitteln. Im Museum gab es zu den Sonderausstellungen ausschließlich portugiesische Erklärungen. Die Möglichkeit, sich mittels eines QR Codes englische Informationen aufs Handy zu holen hat überhaupt nicht geklappt, so dass wir nur Bilder anschauen konnten. Die ständige Ausstellung war ganz schön gemacht, hatte englische Erklärungen und interakive Angebote.

We had a great experience with our guide Meilin who explained the concepts of the museum and so we enjoyed the imaginative way the universe was presented to us and took away from the museum some memories of the amazing photographs. The art graffiti commissioned on the Olympic Boulevard was superb to see and well worth the visit. A different twist on Rio and a pleasure to experience.
