2016 - Summer Olympics in Rio

What's New In Rio?
If you've ever wanted to visit Rio,  in Brazil, 2016 is the year to go. The city is preparing for the summer Olympics. The Museum of Tomorrow is already in place. You can see the outside and the inside. If you can't get there, yet, look at the BBC video.

Another attraction is the Arts Museum. Not to be confused with several other arts museums, such as the museum of modern art. The site comes up in Spanish but there's an icon which says ENGLISH.
