Considering the significance of innovation in the development of the country and the welfare of its citizens, it is important that these technological progresses and achievements are disseminated to the wider public - In Rio, a number of cultural centers take Technology as their focal point.

One such Cultural Center is Oi Futuro, in which the Museu do Telephone (Telephone Museum) is located. The museum tells the narrative of human communication in Brazil and the rest of the world, as it has transformed and developed over the years, whilst calling upon visitors to interactively participate in their learning. The library at the center specializes in texts relating to art and technology, combining both a retroactive look at the past with a keen and speculative eye upon the future.
