    If I could give it 6 stars I would. This is a cash only museum priced at R$ 10,00 at the time of writing this review. Inside you can see many original pieces of importance to Juscelino's Kubitschek history and Brasilia's history. Make sure you go early and well fed so you take your time inside. Precisely curated by his wife Sara, it even has his mortuary chamber. It's a must see if you are interested in inspiring personalities. #museum

    Amazing for sunset, moonrise or a short city break. If you have some free time make surte to visit the museum under the monument. The president's car, a 1974 Ford Galaxie is exhibited here permanently.

    A museum where you can learn more about the president and the other people who built Brasília and also about the city construction itself. There are several videos, presentations, photos, objects and even entire rooms full of history.

  • 5/5 Francis C. 5 years ago on Google
    Very well organized memorial with lot of multimedia content also in English. There are reconstructed rooms of JK which give you a nice idea of how they were leaving at that time. Also the private library of JK is there where you can discover the complete work of French writer Molliere and the full work of Shakespeare in an old edition which was a gift by Queen Elisabeth 2 to JK. Lots of medals and various presents JK received are also exposed. Interesting also is the collection of dress of the first lady. There is a small cafeteria which serve cafe, cold drinks and small cheese cake as appetizers. Tour take 1-2 hours if you want to read and see everything. Highly recommended...

    Rich with the history of Brasilia and its founder. Elegant and beautifully built like Brasilia itself.

  • 5/5 peterlenting 5 months ago on Google • 85 reviews
    Jam packed with objects and personal belongings of JK. It even contains his complete personal library. The austerity of the museum is obvious from the moment you enter and highlighted by his sarcophagus on the 2nd floor.

  • 5/5 Denis K. 10 months ago on Google • 76 reviews
    Ein sehr beeindruckendes Museum zu Ehren von Juscelino Kubitschek. Wenn man sich für Brasilien und die Geschichte zur Entstehung der Stadt Brasilia interessiert, sollte man es auf keinen Fall versäumen das Museum zu besuchen.

  • 4/5 Dayana A. 11 months ago on Google
    Good guided tour. Don't understand how this place is charged entrance when the government give early over milions for this to be running. Good thing old people don't pay entrance fee nor does anyone with a limit disability.

    Beautiful tribute. I didn't go inside and that was enough for me. Just be sure to have cash to enter into the museum.

  • 5/5 Ian T. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    It is worth spending a couple of hours to understand how Brasilia was idealized. The employees were so polite and helpful. The only thing is that only cash is accepted.

    It's all right. Just a place to see since there is really not much to see in Brasilia. It would be more meaningful for people who are really interested in Brazil history.
