Technology, Science and Information – By uniting these three pillars, the Museum of Tomorrow has secured the 41st edition of the Jose Reyes Award for Scientific and Technological Disclosure in the “Vehicles or Communications Foundation” category, one of the region’s most important awards on the national stage. The exhibition “Coronaceno: Reflections of the Epidemic” was distinguished by providing knowledge about the virus and its transmission methods to museum visitors.
Over 4.5 million people have already had the opportunity to visit this tourist attraction, which opened in 2015. Sustainability, globalization and urban problems have already been discussed in museum exhibitions and although they are different topics, they have always been linked at one point: science. It is precisely from this point that the Foundation has reaffirmed its social commitment at a time of pandemic – the democratization of scientific information and knowledge.
“The Museum has brought new audiences to science and science publishing institutions. The Foundation invests in exhibitions and events that promote discussion of the impact of science on society and thinking about our future, as well as investing in the training of publishers, educators and students. It is important to note that the Museum of Tomorrow has entered the tourism and educational calendar For the city of Rio de Janeiro and the country, however, his influence is not limited to the city of Rio de Janeiro, as he used social media to broadcast their activities adapted to the language of this media “explained Evaldo Ferreira Villella, CNPq President in charge of the award.
The award continues to raise expectations about the further democratization of the Museum of Tomorrow. An online conversation series, “Tomorrows Here and Now,” launched during the pandemic, has been essential to ensure entertainment and knowledge in a time of social isolation. The geological eras and cosmic history exhibits, available to those who visited space before the pandemic, now receive Coronaceno, an invitation to the public to reflect on the shifts in the pandemic world and reinforce the importance of science in this context.
“The award places us in the showcase of great scientific institutions, great researchers and communicators. It is a great honor to receive such recognition from an institution like CNPq for sharing knowledge, in an innovative way, with the general population, especially in a year when science has become a part of people’s daily lives, and has proven to be fundamental for our existence”Commented Ricardo Pique, President of IDG – Institute for Development and Management, responsible for managing the Museum of Tomorrow.
