The design of the Museum is inspired by the Carioca culture and through its architecture, explores the relationship between the city and the natural environment. The Museum includes 5,000 square meters of temporary and permanent exhibition space, as well as a 7,600 square meter plaza that wraps around the structure and extends along the dock. The building features large overhangs 75 meters in length on the side facing the square and 45 meters in length on the side facing the sea. These features highlight the extension of the Museum from the dock into the bay. The permanent exhibition is housed upstairs, and features a roof 10 meters high with panoramic views of Guanabara Bay. The total height of the building is limited to 18 meters, which protects the view from the bay of Sao Bento Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The cantilevering roof with its large mobile wings and the facade structure expand almost the full length of the pier emphasizing the extension into the Guanabara Bay, while minimizing the building's width. A reflection pool surrounding the building on the outside—used to filter water that is being pumped from the bay and released back in from the end of the pier— gives visitors the impression that the Museum is floating.

"The idea is that the building feels ethereal, almost floating on the sea, like a ship, a bird or a plant. Because of the changing nature of the exhibits, we have introduced an archetypal structure inside the building. This simplicity allows for the functional versatility of the Museum, able to accommodate conferences or act as a research space," said Mr. Calatrava.

The building is orientated in the north-south direction, off-center from the pier's longitudinal east- west axis, maximizing a continuous landscaping feature containing beautiful gardens, paths and leisure areas along the southern length of the pier. A park walkway around the perimeter of the pier will allow visitors to circumnavigate the Museum, while enjoying panoramic views of the Sao Bento Monastery and the Guanabara Bay. The lower level contains functional and technical rooms, such as the Museum's administrative offices, educational facilities, research space, an auditorium, a museum store, a restaurant, lobby, archives, storage and a delivery area.

Located on the Maua Pier, the Museum of Tomorrow is part of a larger revitalization of Porto Maravilha, the port neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. The project allows for better integration between the Port District and the city center and is helping to make this area one of the most attractive neighborhoods in the city. The building "is the result of a consistent dialogue. The building was built to be a museum for the future, and an educational unit," said Mr. Calatrava.

The building features sustainable design, incorporating natural energy and light sources. Water from the bay is used to regulate the temperature inside the building; this source also supplies water for the Museum’s surrounding reflecting pools. The Museum also uses photovoltaic solar panels, which can be adjusted to optimize the angle of the sun's rays throughout the day and generate solar energy to supply the building.

The visionary museum is focused on answering five key questions: Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we? Where are we going? And how do we want to live together over the next fifty years? The Museum’s exhibits will address issues including population growth and increased life expectancy, consumption patterns, climate change, genetic engineering and bioethics, the distribution of wealth, technological advances and changes in biodiversity. The permanent exhibition is curated by physicist and cosmologist Luiz Alberto Oliveira and designed by Ralph Appelbaum, with the artistic direction of Andres Clerici.

In addition to the main exhibition area, the Museum has space for temporary exhibitions, a 400-seat auditorium, a cafe, a restaurant and a gift shop. The Museum will also host the Exploration Lab of Tomorrow, a space for educational activities and sample projects and prototypes. The Observatory of Tomorrow will provide a space for technological and scientific research, which may be integrated into the Museum exhibitions.

The Museum of Tomorrow is made possible by the City of Rio de Janeiro and the Roberto Marinho Foundation, with the sponsorship of Banco Santander Brasil and the BG project. The project is supported by the Government of Brazil, through the Ministry of Environment and the Financier of Studies and Projects (FINEP).

博物馆的设计受到卡里奥卡文化的启发，并通过其建筑来探索城市与自然环境之间的关系。该博物馆包括5,000平方米的临时和永久展览空间，以及一个7600平方米的广场，环绕广场并沿码头延伸。该建筑的特点是，面向广场的一侧长75米，面向大海的一侧长45米，有大型悬挑物。这些功能突出了博物馆从码头到海湾的延伸。常设展览设在楼上，屋顶高10米，可欣赏瓜纳巴拉湾的全景。该建筑的总高度限制为18米，可以保护联合国教科文组织世界遗产圣地本托修道院海湾的美景。 

悬臂式屋顶及其宽大的活动翼和立面结构扩展了码头的几乎整个长度，强调了向瓜纳巴拉湾的延伸，同时使建筑物的宽度最小。外部环绕建筑物的反射池（用于过滤从海湾抽出并从码头末端释放回来的水）给游客留下了博物馆在浮动的印象。 

“想法是使建筑物感觉空灵，几乎漂浮在海上，就像船，鸟或植物。由于展品性质的变化，我们在建筑物内部引入了原型结构。博物馆具有多功能性，能够容纳会议或充当研究空间。”卡拉特拉瓦先生说。

该建筑的方向为南北，与码头的纵向东西轴线偏心，最大程度地实现了连续的美化环境，其中包括沿码头南端的美丽花园，小径和休闲区。码头周围的公园人行道将使游客可以参观博物馆，同时欣赏圣本图修道院和瓜纳巴拉湾的全景。下层包含功能和技术室，例如博物馆的行政办公室，教育设施，研究空间，礼堂，博物馆商店，餐厅，大厅，档案馆，储藏室和交付区。 

明天博物馆位于毛阿码头，是里约热内卢港口附近的马拉维哈港复兴的一部分。该项目使港口区和市中心之间可以更好地融合，并且正在使该地区成为城市中最具吸引力的街区之一。卡拉特拉瓦先生说：“这座大楼是不断进行对话的结果。这座大楼的建成将成为未来的博物馆和一个教育部门。”

该建筑采用可持续设计，融合了自然能源和光源。来自海湾的水用于调节建筑物内部的温度。该水源还为博物馆周围的反射池提供水。博物馆还使用光伏太阳能电池板，可以对其进行调节，以优化全天的太阳光线角度，并产生太阳能为建筑物供电。

这个有远见的博物馆专注于回答五个关键问题：我们来自哪里？我们是谁？我们在哪？我们去哪？在接下来的五十年里，我们如何共同生活？ 

博物馆的展品将解决人口增长和预期寿命延长，消费方式，气候变化，基因工程和生物伦理学，财富分配，技术进步和生物多样性变化等问题。常设展览由物理学家和宇宙学家路易斯·阿尔贝托·奥利维拉（Luiz Alberto Oliveira）策划，由拉尔夫·阿佩尔鲍姆（Ralph Appelbaum）设计，艺术指导为安德烈斯·克莱里奇（Andres Clerici）。

除主要展览区外，博物馆还设有临时展览空间，400个座位的礼堂，咖啡厅，餐厅和礼品店。博物馆还将举办“明天探索实验室”，这是一个进行教育活动以及样本项目和原型的空间。明天的天文台将提供技术和科学研究的空间，该空间可能会整合到博物馆的展览中。 

里约热内卢市和罗伯托·马里尼奥基金会在桑坦德银行巴西银行和BG项目的赞助下，创造了明天博物馆。该项目由巴西政府通过环境部和研究与项目融资机构（FINEP）提供支持。
