Tancredo Neves Pantheon of Fatherland and Freedom
Tancredo Neves Pantheon of Fatherland and Freedom, Modernist museum at Praça dos Três Poderes in Brasília, Brazil.
The Tancredo Neves Pantheon of Fatherland and Freedom is a three-floor cenotaph and museum at Praça dos Três Poderes in Brasília, Brazil. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer, the structure spans 2,105 square meters (22,669 square feet) and features a curved shape that evokes a dove.
Following the death of president-elect Tancredo Neves in 1985, this memorial was created to celebrate the return to democracy. Neves was the first civilian head of state after two decades of military rule and died shortly before his inauguration.
The name honors the first civilian president after military dictatorship and connects the building to Brazil's democratic renewal. Visitors can view the Steel Book, which records the biographies of resistance fighters such as Tiradentes and Zumbi dos Palmares.
The museum sits on Praça dos Três Poderes in the government district and opens from Tuesday to Sunday between 9 AM and 6 PM. Admission is free, and the spaces are accessible by stairs and ramps.
An eternal flame burns atop a diagonal tower that branches from the main structure and remains visible at night. Inside the Red Hall, a large mural by Athos Bulcão displays abstract motifs, complemented by colored glass windows by Marianne Peretti.
