Museu Nacional Vive

The National Museum keeps talking to society! In the classroom or at Quinta da Boa Vista, Mangueira or Maré… The Museum continues to operate in different social contexts by means of courses, events and projects that encourage the exchange of knowledge and dialogue between science and popular knowledge. .

In 2019 alone, more than 70,000 people from seven states in the country participated in the activities.

FESTIVAL AT QUINTA DA BOA VISTA

The Museu Nacional Vive Festival offers educational and cultural activities, bringing the public closer to the Museum’s collection and projects.

MUSEU’S ANNIVERSARY

Workshops, cultural actions and access to scientific production highlight “Ciência, História e Cultura: o Museu na Quinta da Boa Vista” [Science, History and Culture: the Museum at Quinta da Boa Vista], a project that mobilizes the entire institution to celebrate, along with the public, this very special date!

SCIENTIST GIRLS

A girl’s place is wherever she wants! Twice a year, the Department of Geology and Paleontology opens enrollment for the “Girls with Science” course, which encourages curiosity and scientific thinking by means of playful and educational workshops.

REBORN FROM THE ASHES

“Renascer das cinzas: memórias, histórias e trajetórias do Museu Nacional/UFRJ” [Reborn from the ashes: memories, histories and trajectories of the National Museum/UFRJ] collected testimonies from the public, students and public servants who shared the pain regarding the fire and hope for the Museum rebuilding. Check out the documentary teaser:

MUSEUM AT MARÉ

Actions of the Museu Nacional Vive Project also involve students from Maré Slum. The documentary ‘Maré de Sonhos’ and a version of the exhibition “Quando Nem Tudo Era Gelo” [When Not Everything Was Ice] – which became “Quebrando o Gelo” [Breaking the Ice] – are some of the results of this powerful meeting between the Museum and the community.
