Museu Getúlio Vargas, Historical museum in São Borja, Brazil.

The Museu Getúlio Vargas occupies a brick building erected in 1911 with a symmetrical facade decorated with pilasters and ornamental window frames. The house contains over 1,000 books, personal items, and historical documents from different periods.

The brick house was built in 1911 and served as the residence of Getúlio Vargas, his wife Darcy Sarmanho Vargas and their five children until 1923, when he was elected federal deputy for Rio Grande do Sul. The museum is maintained by the São Borja municipal government together with the successors of the Vargas family.

The museum holds personal items and photographs that show how Vargas lived and thought about the world around him. Visitors can get a sense of his daily life and what mattered to him.

The building underwent major restoration in 2013 and now features air conditioning, ramps, and accessibility features for visitors. The updated interior makes it comfortable to explore and spend time here.

The 2013 restoration cost R$2.5 million, funded by the state government of Rio Grande do Sul. It renewed floors, ceilings, plaster, paint and window hardware such as cremones and latches, and added air conditioning, sensors and cameras. The facade was returned to the public in July 2015, at a ceremony attended by governor José Ivo Sartori.
