Historic place, charges $8 Reais for entry, coming from the US didn't know much about Santos Dumont, interesting aviator scientist

The House of Santos Dumont is a great place to visit. I got surprised when I saw how simple he lived behind the big intelligence he had. The history of this great person brings pride of such human and the benefits he brought to the humandade.

Unfortunately, not even half the information in the exhibition are translated into English. Also we didn’t find any film like it’s suggested in other comments. All in all, I’d say that it’s not really worth it if you don’t understand Portuguese very well. Which would be okay, but since the prices and basic information at the entrance are written in English, you’d expect otherwise. House is cute and if you’d like to know how it looks from the inside, it may be worth a visit. If you (again from an English speaking perspective) want to learn about Santos Dumont, you might be better off reading Wikipedia.

(Translated by Google) Unlike what is on Google, the space is open, even during the pandemic, I went on 9 / Jan / 2021. Entry 8 reais, and a half for teachers and students. The house shows a little of the history of Santos Dumont, has a space with posters to tell his story, model of the house, of the 14 bis, Souvenir shop and bathrooms. Very interesting! (Original) Diferentemente do que está no Google, o espaço está aberto, mesmo durante a pandemia, fui em 9/Jan/2021. Entrada 8 reais, e meia para professores e estudantes. A casa mostra um pouco da história do santos Dumont, tem um espaço com cartazes para contar a história dele, maquete da casa, do 14 bis, Loja de souvenirs e banheiros. Bem interessante!

I went on his birthday and it was very busy, however it was great to learn more about the type of person he was and his lovely house.

Nice quick historical visit. Very unique and true story, the first registered flight without wind help or catapult. The real inventor of the first airplane!

It is a super small museum, it takes you probably 30 Minutes to see everything. It is very interesting if you are a fan of history and specially the history of the planes. The only downside is that the infrastructure there is quite bad. And it is super small, so if you go on a busy day, it will be impossible to go in.

Beautiful site with a rich history and gorgeous scale replicas of Santos' creations, and the original house designed by Santos Dumont himself. The entrance fee is decent, and they offer a video (with English subtitles) that tells the true story of Mr. Dumont. This is a must-visit site for fans of aviation history. Keep in mind the stairs are steep (which is part of the original history of the house), but there is an elevator available for people who have difficulty.

Rather disappointing, considering the recognized importance of the man. There is a lot of material in archives that document his achievements. There is precious little that found its way into this museum. One leaves hungry for what could have been shown.

Im from the US and no longer believe the Wright brothers were the first in flight. History needs to be re taught.

Santos Dumont was a visionary , a milenial man and visiting his home and the attached museum helps you learn about this.

Historic place which deserves a visit in order to get better acquainted with Alberto Santos Dumont and his inventions and some details about him.

Great place with many objects that belong to Santos Dumont

Vale visitar. É a antiga casa de Santos Dumont! É bem interessante. It was Santos Dumont's house. Brazilians support he created the first airplane. He competes with the American brothers who suposily created the first one . It is impossible to determine who did it first. It became a museum. It is very cool. Kids will like.

It is good that they kept the unique design of Dumont's apartment intact. Definitely worth a look for a tourist. The short film on Dumont was interesting and so were the display's of some of his belongings.

Interesting and worthwhile to visit and learn about a very inventive individual I knew little about previously. Just start repeating other commentary if I said more.

(Translated by Google) Exciting! (Original) Emocionante!

Esplendido

Interesting history. Quick stop. Steep steps, not good if you have mobility problems

The most.. stunning..and beautiful place that I have known. In my heart forever!

Good place nice house very good to see. Only thing is that you have to pay an entree but it is worth the visit.

Interesting history, however the museum is rather small for the entrance fee.

Very interesting place.

Interesting museum, learnt a lot about someone I knew nothing about, probably the most worthwhile of the sites in Petropolis

Great historical Museum about aviation history in Brazil. Also, the original home of Santos Dumont

(Translated by Google) Very good ! (Original) Muito bom !

(Translated by Google) I am suspicious to speak. I think it is a super valid tour, everything from history to culture. It is amazing to see how he lived, and MTS has original items such as letters, accessories, fixed furniture and paintings. The price is very cheap, and there is a souvenir kiosk at the exit that sells beautiful things to take as a souvenir. (Original) Sou suspeita para falar. Acho um passeio super válido, tudo que é história soma em cultura. É incrível ver como ele vivia, e tem MTS itens originais como cartas, acessórios, os móveis fixos e quadros.
