This episode reports on the inauguration of the Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS) in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. The museum's first exhibition, titled 'Arquitetura em Cena, MIS Copa Antes da Imagem e do Som,' details the construction history of the building, including engineering innovations and architectural challenges. The exhibition was chosen to address public curiosity and urban legends surrounding the work, as explained by Secretary João Alegria of the Roberto Marinho Foundation. The museum is a realization of the State Government in partnership with the Roberto Marinho Foundation. In its initial phase, access is limited to interest groups such as public network students, architecture, history, and museology students, as well as housing associations and local commercial and hotel representatives. This partial opening serves as a preparatory process to test visitor fluxes and operational aspects. The general public will gain access starting May 8, with scheduling available online through the SIMPLA platform. The exhibition is planned to remain until the end of July, with potential for extension. Over the next six months, museography work will organize and preserve the museum's collections. The acting governor of Rio, Ambassador Ricardo Couto, highlighted the museum's importance to the local population. The project took 15 years to complete with an investment of approximately R$345 million. The full opening of MIS is expected in the last quarter of the year. The episode is presented by Isa Morena, with hosts Bianca and Pedro. The report emphasizes the museum's role in cultural representation and its phased approach to public engagement.
