In what year did Rio's Museum of Tomorrow open?

Rio's Museum of Tomorrow opened in 2015.

The science museum opened on December 17, 2015, at Pier Mauá on Rio de Janeiro's waterfront. Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava designed the building, whose projecting white forms and long roofline were intended to suggest movement, technology, and a future-oriented city.

The museum was a major part of Porto Maravilha, an urban-renewal project that transformed Rio's port district. Its opening was attended by Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff, and the building quickly became one of the area's defining landmarks ahead of the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Inside, the main exhibition is organized around five areas: Cosmos, Earth, Anthropocene, Tomorrow, and Us. The museum focuses on climate, sustainability, biodiversity, and the consequences of human choices. The year 2016 is an understandable mix-up because the museum operated during Rio's Olympic year, but its public opening came in December 2015.
