MUSEU Nacional da República

The National Museum of the Republic is an art museum in Brasília's Cultural Sector housed in a striking dome structure designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer. The building contains multiple galleries displaying artworks from contemporary and historical periods of Brazilian creativity.

The museum was established in 2006 to preserve and display Brazilian artistic development. Its collection represents different phases of creative work across the nation.

The name reflects Brasília's role as the center of the Republic and its cultural identity. Visitors encounter works by Brazilian creators displayed in a space that mirrors the importance of artistic expression to the nation.

The museum is located in Brasília's Cultural Sector South and is accessible to visitors. Guided tours and educational programs are available along with rotating exhibitions throughout the year.

The dome's curved design creates shifting light patterns inside the galleries as the sun moves across the sky. This natural interplay transforms how the artworks appear throughout the day.
