It holds the Guinness World Record for being the largest graffiti mural by one artist. This site offers a glimpse into how art has reshaped the city’s urban landscape post-Olympics.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Museum of Tomorrow, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. Located at Pier Mauá, this a futuristic structure integrates modern architecture with environmental sustainability, featuring solar panels and a rainwater reuse system.

Inside, the museum’s interactive exhibits invite you to explore the intersections of science, technology, and sustainability. Curated by physicist and cosmologist Luiz Alberto Oliveira, the main exhibition combines five zones: Cosmos, Earth, Anthropocene, Tomorrow, and Now. Each area raises important questions about our past, present, and future. It encourages visitors to think about their role in creating a sustainable world.

After exploring the museum, we return to the Olympic Boulevard, where you’ll have free time to take photos. Finally, the tour concludes with the transfer back to your hotel.
