Imagine an elegant, beautiful, well maintained memorial, with lots of pictures, books, and the remains of the former Brazilian president and Brasilia's founder Juscelino Kubitschek. Dont miss it.

It doesnt have lots of artistic things as of his founder. Its interesting to learn something about this city history with all the photos, videos and objects in there. The most of it shows the story of JK by displaying some of his clothes, books, awards, photos, etc. It could be more chronological though.
Juscelino Kubitschek, or JK, as Brazilians friendly call him, was the President who dreamt of Brasilia, seeing the importance of moving the Capital from ancient and huge Rio de Janeiro to an entirely new town, in the middle of Brazil... and of nothing! Built in an incredibly quick time, this city probably gave a transcendental turn in this Country`s history....

Another Niemeyer building which fills this city~inside has a collection relating the Brasilia's founder, JK showing aspects of his life including photographs with celebrities. This is one of the few buildings one has to pay to enter~since my international tourists are only likely to visit once, pay the small fee.
In the inside it's worth to pay the 10 BRL to see the exhibition. It takes about 30 min and it has a lot of photographs about president JK. It could be a little bit more cronological, but eventhough it is probably the only permanent exhibition in Brasilia about its history.
As may be expected at a memoriall. I believe that could add a little bit more of history and something more modern and interactives, but the displays are OK.
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.
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.
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.
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,...
