on the second floor are very tastefully displayed photos of President Kubitschek with famous people and politicians. The first image is the President with Marlon Brandon - odd right? I love the replica of his office and the books he was gifted are notable. tombs are always a little creepy though, right. More

The project of this memorial, signed by Oscar Niemeyer, is great. But it is also a nice visit for the permanent exhibition inside the building, telling the story of President Juscelino Kubitschek, the man behind the building of Brasília, and its time. More

The exhibition is the only tourist attraction in which you pay in Brasilia and in my opinion, there's nothing very interesting. Go there to see the beautiful building, the outside shooting, which produces beautiful photos. it is very easy to park. More

This is well worth a visit. JK was the founder/inspirational force of Brasilia. We are still paying for it through our taxes. The atmosphere of the memorial is a bit lugubrious, as befits a tomb (and smells of room freshener) but it contains mementos and other stuff about JK, including his and his wife´s clothes, and is lovingly cared for,...

An somewhat interesting, modernistic privately-run memorial (R$5 entrance), though the emphasis is on photos and momentos of Kitschek's life, and his push to have Brasilia built, aimed at those who know his story. It is not a place for foreigners to learn about him for example. And since it is a private, family memoril, its purpose is to honor his... More
