The National Archives is a very beautiful historic house. I wasn't able to take photos inside because there was a recording being made, but it is open to the public. The Institution is ideal for researchers, immigrants, foreigners, as it has in its collection all records of foreigners who came to Brazil. It is located in Praça da República - Center of Rio From monday to friday 07:30 am to 18:00 pm

For those who are going to make a spontaneous visit, you can only visit the building's lobby (where there is the reception), the garden, and the temporary exhibition. For those who wish to make the full visit, it is necessary to schedule an appointment. It's a beautiful place, with an incredible historical collection.

Beautiful place, I arrived and I couldn't take a guided tour, but I could walk around the building with restrictions on some rooms

(Translated by Google) Undoubtedly, the National Archives is the best archive/library to research in the country. Attentive, helpful staff, a beautiful building and an essential collection for the study of the country's history. (Original) Sem dúvida, o Arquivo Nacional é melhor arquivo/biblioteca para pesquisar no país. Funcionários atenciosos, solícitos, um belo edifício e um acervo essencial ao estudo da História do país.

The place is NOT the army museum! The two army museums that I know of are: the Conde de Linhares Military Museum, in São Cristóvão, and the Copacabana Fort. The place in question is the HISTORIC HOUSE OF DEODORO. The place in question tells the family and military history, in addition to a narration of the Proclamation of the Republic, by Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca. Only the ground floor of the building, which is a two-story house, is open to visitors. There are toilets and a drinking fountain.

*English speaking Asian visitors may get entry banned* A female receptionist who has tattoo on her left forearm denied my entry today a few hours ago despite the fact that the museum is open to the public. I even used google translator to ask if the museum is open for tourist in portuguese and the receptionist clearly said NO to me. How disappointing. Whatever goes around, it comes around. Receptionist must be replaced for real. Why should I be banned for being an Asian and an English speaker?

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and well preserved place. I went there in person looking for some documents and I was very well attended, all the employees I spoke with were very friendly (Original) Lugar lindíssimo e bem preservado. Fui presencialmente lá atrás de alguns documentos e fui muito bem atendida, todos os funcionários com que falei foram muito simpáticos

(Translated by Google) Good visit, ancient hostiator knowledge, I liked the History of an Ancient Brazil, with many Riches, etc.... (Original) Boa visita,conhecimentos hostiadores antigos ,gostei Historia de um Brasil Antigos,com muitas Riquezas,etc....

I didn't know until yesterday, December 7, 2023, what a beautiful place... we must preserve these historical and cultural places as national heritage.

(Translated by Google) If I had been waiting for an order to be placed, and charged through several channels of the national archive, I would already be on another plan, my order is already about 5 months old, and I know they have it, I sent a copy, all the information chewed, the most easy in the world, and I didn't receive it until today, I made 3 order for it, with photos and numbers that would help to find it with ease, but it falls into oblivion or neglect for 3 times, if you need something, I recommend you ask in advance if I know there 1 year, attached image referring to my last supplication and withdrawal, I know it falls into oblivion and that I will not be answered (Original) Se eu tivesse esperando um pedido feito, e cobrado por diversos canais do proprio arquivo nacional eu ja estaria em outro plano, meu pedido ja tem uns 5 meses, e sei que eles tem, enviei uma copia, tudo mastigadinho de informações, a coisa mais facil do mundo, e nao recebi ate hoje, fiz 3 pedido do mesmo, com fotos e numeros que ajudaria a encontrar com tranquilidade, mas cai no esquecimento ou desleijo por 3 vezes, se for precisar se algo, recomendo que peça com antecedência se sei la 1 ano, imagem em anexo referente a minha ultima suplica e desistencia, sei que cai no esquecimento e que nao serei atendido

Excellent. The former royal mint of Brazil and now the Federal archive for permanent national documents.

Beautiful building! Wonderful documents that changed our world, people at the entrance are very nice. There is a beautiful lady who speaks English. The museum is free!

I didn't know it yet and I was amazed! The professionals are attentive and polite! The installations surprised me due to their historical value.

(Translated by Google) Website is extremely confusing. It doesn't flow. Login is ok, password too and I can not access. Help!!! (Original) Site é extremamente confuso. Não flui. Login tá certo, a senha tbm e não consigo acessar. Socorro!!!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful exhibition - WHO ARE THE BRAZILIANS. Super attentive staff. (Original) Linda exposição - QUEM SÃO OS BRASILEIROS. Funcionários super atenciosos.

(Translated by Google) Federal public agency for historical research, with a pleasant atmosphere and excellent service (Original) Órgão público federal de pesquisa histórica, com um ambiente agradável e com serviços de excelente atendimento

Lindo lugar. Pra quem busca cidadania, por exemplo, é um primeiro lugar a visitar. Super recomendo uma visita. Não só por isso, mas também pela beleza do lugar.

(Translated by Google) Good place to visit and research. (Original) Bom lugar para visitação e pesquisa.

Poor service for publishing opening hours. closed on holiday and there was no publication or message indicating! I don't recommend it if you are a tourist and have a schedule
