Located in the heart of Duque de Caxias, The Museu Ciencia e Vida aims to divulge and make public the scientific discoveries made in the various fields of science - The museum was founded by the CECIERJ, a foundation devoted to long distance learning, and therefore is noticeable by its approach of science as a self-development path, instead of a forced march through school seats and blackboards.

This fun way of immersing visitors in a learning atmosphere is not only a trace of the many high quality expositions hosted in the museum, but also a way of educating that the museum teaches in professional development workshops for educators that they organize according to the interest of the community.
