Things to do in Brasilia, Federal District (DF): The Best History Museums

January 21, 2022 Stefan Strunk

Renowned for its modernist lines and futuristic design, Brasilia is a study in urban planning and the only city built in the 20th century to be counted among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Where only five years before its inception there was desert, now there are innovative buildings and imaginative monuments, ranging from the hyperboloid Cathedral of Brasilia to the lunar-esque Complexo Cultural da Republica to the glass-box Palacio da Alvorada.

Memorial JK

Many visit the site of President Kubitschek’s memorial, featuring a tastefully inscribed plaque in honor of the beloved leader.

Reviewed By saronic - Zurich, Switzerland

One of the most interesting sights in a city full of architectural wonders is the Memorial JK. I took a taxi to get here from the hotel area and then went for a long walk back, past several other interesting places. Considered as the president, who achieved the most of all for his country, Joscelino Kubitschek (often just known as 'JK') is also seen by many as the 'father of modern Brazil'. Not the least he stands behind the foundation of the new capital, Brasilia. Trained as a medical doctor this man from Minas Gerais, who as his family name betrays is a descendant - from his mother's side - of Czech immigrants, very soon started a successful political career. After he was killed at a car accident in 1976 soon later a mausoleum-memorial was built in his honour - with Oscar Niemeyer as the architect. Besides the tomb in a crypt with special light effect can be seen rooms with various personal items of his and of his wife Sarah like furniture, books, dresses, letters and many photos showing him with people like JFK, Marlon Brando, Fidel Castro, André Malraux and many many others. It all gives an insight into the man's life and also of his period in general.
