The museum occupies three floors of the 4,333 m² Light Station. Creation of the Brazilian architect Rafic Farah, right in the entrance is the so-called "Tree of Language", a sculpture with three floors high in which leaves appear outlines of objects and the roots are formed by words that gave rise to Portuguese. The tree can be visualized when the visitor uses the elevator access to the other floors with transparent walls.
The auditorium has a screen of nine meters wide, where is presented a short film, created by Antonio Risério and directed by Tadeu Jungle, about the emergence, history, diversity, and the importance of languages for humanity. The screen turns out to be a large swinging door to the "Language Square".
Considered one of the most entertaining spaces of the permanent exhibition, where visitors have fun moving images containing word fragments, which include suffixes, prefixes and radicals, forming a curious game that aims to form complete words. When the goal is reached, the projection table becomes a futuristic screen that shows animations and movies about the origin and meaning of the word formed. Created by Marcelo Tas with the support of etymologist Mário Viaro, art director Liana Brazil and technology director Russ Rive.
A large interactive screen that shows the Brazilian speakers, where you can navigate the map and access audios with samples of the speech of Brazilians from the states of the Federation. On the museum's website you can access these audios.
