Event on March 8 celebrates archaeologist Niéde Guidon’s legacy with debates, film screenings, and a special concert.
Tribute and special program
The Museum of Tomorrow offers a free and diverse March program, featuring a tribute to archaeologist Niéde Guidon on International Women’s Day, March 8. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., visitors will attend the event “The Discoveries and Legacy of Niéde Guidon,” which includes discussions, films, and music.
In the morning, researchers from USP, Fiocruz, and the Museum of the American Man Foundation discuss her academic contributions, which redefined theories of human occupation in the Americas. In the afternoon, films will be shown, including the new “Rupestre”, and the book “Serra da Capivara” by photographer André Pessoa will be launched.
The day ends with a performance by the Coral Singing Association Choir (ACC), blending works by Fauré and Villa-Lobos to honor Niéde’s French education and Brazilian roots.
Course and sustainability debates
From March 2 to 15, the museum opens registration for the second edition of the course “Regenerative Futures”, taught by Fabio Scarano, UFRJ professor and museum curator. Classes, held from April 6 to 10, explore sustainability and regeneration, supported by the UNESCO Chair on Planetary Wellbeing.
The exhibition “Ocean – The World Is an Archipelago” will inspire two special events. On March 19, the Curator Talk brings together Scarano and Camila Oliveira to discuss water, climate, and biodiversity; on March 25, artist PV Dias leads the Open Lab, a creative workshop reimagining historical archives of Guanabara Bay.
Educational and family activities
The museum’s education team also promotes Play Is Science, with engaging workshops for children. On March 16, the Play Experiments activity invites kids to make embroidery keychains inspired by the Ocean exhibition. On March 28, the Gardening Club will discuss urban gardens and sustainable city spaces.
On March 29, the group Lekolé presents two sessions of Little Earthlings, designed for babies up to three years old, while Tomorrow Tales explores fossils and geo-myths from Rio. Meanwhile, on March 7, 14, and 21, Open Education sessions offer games and activities for spontaneous visitors.
All events feature sign language interpretation upon request. The Museum of Tomorrow is open from Thursday to Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Praça Mauá 1, in downtown Rio de Janeiro.
