I wonder why TripAdvisor insists in one having to do a 100 character review about this.It's just silly, as some so called monuments.
A little confused as to the history but still very nice. Don't be in a rush so you can learn more than I did. Also, don't miss the statue on the back side...a couple on a bench. Very cute photo op.
I am sure for Brazilians who revere this guy, it is interesting and historical. But my son and I found it strange. The white suited staff and the music gave it a surreal / cult-y / funeral home kind of vibe. I don't want to be harsh and I am sure he is an important figure in Brazilian political history.
Very informative about the founder, history and development of Brasilia. Lots of fotos, multimedia info, books, and objects from JK's time.
The outside structure is moderately interesting but it is great to learn of the life of a kid raised by a single parent of Czech and Gypsy origin who accomplished so much in his life and changed many things for the Brazilian people!
If you´re interested in Brasilia history and its founder, very good museum. Misses some more interactive things, but really good anyhow.If not, take it from outside.JK´s tomb is not nice.
The memorial has a nice architecture and it is very nice. The exhibition is somewhat interesting for those who knows the history of the former ex-president. It fails in telling the story of JK.
As an American who was taught years and years of US History and not a single unit on South American or Brazilian history, I absolutely loved this museum. It was the first time I can remember going to a historical museum where everything was new to me. Brazil is extremely proud of Kubitschek and Brasilia, and it showed in the beautiful facility. We spent a while here reading all of the history of the city (all of the signs are in both Portuguese and English). I would definitely go back if I were to visit Brasilia with another first time tourist! **There is a student discount!
I was not too interested on visiting this Memorial but I was surprised of how much I actually enjoyed my time visiting. The staff was very courteous and the Memorial very informative.
JK was (and still is) a deeply-admired man in Brasil. His vision for the capital city was astonishing, and his memorial "complex" is full of interesting history.
