If you´re interested in Brasilia history and its founder, very good museum. Misses some more interactive things, but really good anyhow.If not, take it from outside.JK´s tomb is not nice.

Very informative about the founder, history and development of Brasilia. Lots of fotos, multimedia info, books, and objects from JK's time.

Very impressive. One can get to know much more about the president responsible to build Brasilia. His life is depicted through many perspectives, from the public man, president and well-known world-wide, to this personal life and passions. Very well organised. If you are interested about history, it is definitely a nice place to visit.

I was not too interested on visiting this Memorial but I was surprised of how much I actually enjoyed my time visiting. The staff was very courteous and the Memorial very informative.

II was a hoy for me to see the work and impact that JK has made on the Brazil To see all the tributes to him and the various medals he received painted a larger than life picture of the man Also seeing photos of the creation of the new town of Brasilia was highly informative Great leader have a vision and the will to see that vision take on real lifeJ K was certainly the father of the new Brasil!

I wonder why TripAdvisor insists in one having to do a 100 character review about this.It's just silly, as some so called monuments.

JK was (and still is) a deeply-admired man in Brasil. His vision for the capital city was astonishing, and his memorial "complex" is full of interesting history.

It is interesting from a historical point of view, learning a bit more about the president who build Brasilia. Our guide seemed to be a bit fanatic about JK, talking as if he had never sinned. The tomb inside with the president's remains in a darkened red room was a tad morbid. Didn't let my small kids in so they wouldn't have nightmares.

As an American who was taught years and years of US History and not a single unit on South American or Brazilian history, I absolutely loved this museum. It was the first time I can remember going to a historical museum where everything was new to me. Brazil is extremely proud of Kubitschek and Brasilia, and it showed in the beautiful facility. We spent a while here reading all of the history of the city (all of the signs are in both Portuguese and English). I would definitely go back if I were to visit Brasilia with another first time tourist! **There is a student discount!

I am sure for Brazilians who revere this guy, it is interesting and historical. But my son and I found it strange. The white suited staff and the music gave it a surreal / cult-y / funeral home kind of vibe. I don't want to be harsh and I am sure he is an important figure in Brazilian political history.

A little confused as to the history but still very nice. Don't be in a rush so you can learn more than I did. Also, don't miss the statue on the back side...a couple on a bench. Very cute photo op.

The memorial saves some of the history of Brazil, the current history, and this place is full of things about Kubitschek, a former president of Brazil, if you like to visit historical places, this is a must be on your list

The outside structure is moderately interesting but it is great to learn of the life of a kid raised by a single parent of Czech and Gypsy origin who accomplished so much in his life and changed many things for the Brazilian people!

The memorial has a nice architecture and it is very nice. The exhibition is somewhat interesting for those who knows the history of the former ex-president. It fails in telling the story of JK.

Monument o the politician whose political will brought Brasilia into being and who turned his city into poetry
