Whoever hasn’t yet visited the SESI Lab is missing the opportunity to experience a multifunctional space with free entry, featuring the SESI Lab tunnel, cultural programs, SESI Lab, and concept store. With a holiday schedule full of attractions for all ages, the space stands out as a complete and innovative option to enjoy leisure time. In November 2022, the SESI Lab will celebrate another successful year, attracting thousands of visitors to its 8,000 square meters.
SESI Lab: 100% Interactive Museum and Multifunctional Space
Even without ticket charges, however, it is necessary to issue tickets on Sympla or at the museum’s physical box office. During the free admission season, the operating hours will remain the same: Tuesday to Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 AM to 7 PM. The SESI Lab café and concept store will operate on the same days and hours as the museum’s activities.
The SESI Lab Tunnel: Multifunctional Space with Free Programming
With the inauguration of the SESI Lab in November 2022, Brasília gained a multifunctional space with free entry, a 6.1 sound system, and digital projection. The SESI Lab tunnel is a gift for residents and tourists, providing programming for all ages, ranging across different genres and experiments. During this special holiday programming period, the location will host the project ‘Cine Curtas’, with screenings on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 5 PM.
