예전 대통령 궁전이었던 건물에 자리하며, 게툴리우 바르가스 대통령이 사망한 곳으로, 브라질 정치사를 깊이 파고들 수 있습니다.
- Good to know
- 궁전 정원은 무료로 입장 가능하며 매우 평화롭습니다.

Worth a visit as that palace has a long history first built as a mansion by a wealthy businessman and later serving for several decades as the Brazilian presidential palace. As a shareholder of Petrobras I found it very interesting to learn that Brazil's president Getulio Vargas who helped to create the state oil company Petrobras ended up committing suicide in that very palace reportedly partly because of political pressure from the global "seven sisters" oil companies who were opposed to Brazil's state owned oil company Petrobras
Wow!!! I walked past this place every day on my way to the shops, the metro etc but noticed only the scaffolding, the rubbish and the graffiti so I didnt go in - in fact, it didnt even look open and certainly wasn't inviting. Only because I had to get out of the heat today did I venture over the doorstep and WOW - what a remarkable place. Both the palace and the gardens, and all the other exhibitions are outstanding! Please do not make the same mistake as me, do NOT miss out on this remarkable place.
IMPRESSIVE + FREE! The building/museum & gardens are open to the public with stunning details and care. Don’t skip this one when in Rio!
What a wonderful free piece of history! Pro: - free - multiples expositions - garden, modern art, main palace - haunted (so they say) - blood soaked pijamas! - incredible entry way Con: - nothing 100% worth visiting if in rio
Closed for renovation! I'm probably the only North American in Rio right now who has read about Getulio Vargas and I'm sure I'm the only North American staying in Copacabana right now who really, really, really wanted to see the exact place where Getulio committed suicide! But the museum has been closed for renovation since February 1, 2025. Update this, Google maps! But the museum's garden (park) is open and it's free to visit. Very nice, calm, and green, with friendly ducks/geese. This must be Rio's nicest, cleanest, greenest park!
