Museu de Astronomia e Ciências Afins - MAST Review

It was wonderful, I had the pleasure and opportunity to participate in the first day of the astrobiology introduction course !!!

Excellent experience for children. Attentive and very polite staff. Beautiful place!

The museum is beautiful and offers several free activities as well as the main collection. As for the main collection, it is composed of several interactive works explaining how the solar system works and the like.
It is a bit hidden, it is near the trade fair of Saint Kitts, but it lacks signposts indicating the way.

At the moment, some spaces were not available for visitation. But the museum space is cool!

Well-mounted exhibits and amazing historical pieces!

Beautiful! Knowledgeable place, great for walking with the family.

Historical place of Brazilian astronomy. Worth the visit!

Great place for astronomy classes and even to spend a late afternoon with the family.

Opportunity to know more about astronomical research

The space is facilities on lease are very beautiful.

Top for weekend tours this is for those who like museums.

Was good
More could improve

Cool. The place is beautiful, it gives imperial time. At night, for two days a week, there is sky observation with monitors helping to see constellations, planets, both with the naked eye and in telescopes. In addition, very interesting exhibitions about the Earth and the cosmos.

A history and physics class. Excellent place to go with the kids.

Incredible, the monitors are very attentive.
Wonderful experience.

museum and former research center Rio de Janeiro National Observatory left the hill of the castle and was transferred to this hill, it counts former officials that as a child his father helped to build the museum and that it had underground passages in this place, but not yet discovered nothing

Beautiful place, meeting science in the midst of nature and lots of peace.

Interactive exhibits for children, easy access, ok bathrooms

Well maintained space. Its administrators are always promoting activities to attract the public.

Careful and attentive service by staff, good expository material, planetary. Good place to take students or family.

It is a beautiful and big place. Admission is free. It is very well taken care of. It tells the story of the evolution of the instruments used in navigation. Offer a peek at the telescope at night.

I went with the students, it was quite an experience.

Excellent museum, with well described and preserved pieces, you can spend an entire afternoon in the museum. In addition to the exhibits, such as a scaled solar system, the museum has sky observation programs, including sun observation. The place overlooks a good part of the city center, the port area and the northern part of the city. that the carioca is used to.

Excellent place to stroll, to know and study astronomy subjects. Great for kids.

The Museum of Astronomy and Related Sciences is a gift from the city that few people know about. In it, there are exhibitions that tell a little about the history of Brazilian science, there are scientific and artistic contents. You can still watch the sky on Saturdays through loupes and magnifiers !!! Seeing Saturn's rings is awesome !!!

A collection that is difficult to understand, but a bucolic place that has a team that tries hard to show what it has.

Free, with interactive and new exhibitions. attentive staff. Issues certificate for additional hours. The garden is beautiful and the museum (campus) has beautiful architecture and decoration.

It was a lot of fun because there was a Science and Technology fair there and I also participated in a lecture with wonderful teachers

Very good! There are many historical things there and I loved the planetarium presentation, I learned many things and the place is wonderful

Great! If it is to take schools, better schedule a mediated visit: maximum use of the collection and content!

Great program! Free! Saturday activities for children

I loved the place nor does it look like it is in Sao Cristovao.

My son and I loved the place. A lot of interesting besides being a beautiful place

A wonderful museum! A great place to go as a family.

The weekend schedule is great! I recommend taking the children, because space stimulates the imagination of the little ones!

If lucky enough to get there and have the explainers explaining each room, plus the explainer of the stars and the night see what was explained (I did not see because of the mosquitoes and it was taking), it was worth the ride. There's a simple canteen in the back.

very informative and very beautiful in everything and it's free

Incredible and well maintained place with lots of interactive exhibits and stargazing on a few nights. Weaknesses: no cafeteria or place to buy water, snack, nothing! I ended up leaving earlier than I wanted because I was starving; upon arriving at the main entrance, there was no one at the front desk to advise on how and where the exhibits were; some rooms with historical equipment were without any security (only cameras), which I think dangerous for the collection.
Overall, a very good experience!

There is a beautiful, friendly and intelligent mediator every Wednesday there!

Quiet and good place for picnics and birthday parties. Clean bathrooms. Staff polite and friendly. Garden with beautiful landscape to take photos. Great lectures and guided tour.

A museum with several interesting and free activities for the whole family. Super indicated.

Staff very polite and helpful.
Location with enough information

I love this place! I've already worked as a scholarship holder and I plan to do it again when I can. A great place to learn and enjoy! Sensational!!!
