Tancredo Neves Pantheon of Fatherland and Freedom, Modernist museum at Praça dos Três Poderes in Brasília, Brazil.

The three-floor cenotaph spans 2,105 square meters and features a distinctive structure designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer to represent a dove shape.

Following the 1985 death of president-elect Tancredo Neves, the first civilian leader after military rule, this memorial was established to honor national heroes.

The Livro de Aço, a steel book within the museum, records the names and biographies of Brazilian heroes including Tiradentes and Zumbi dos Palmares.

Located in the governmental complex, the museum offers free admission and operates from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

An eternal flame burns atop a diagonal tower while the Red Hall displays the Mural of Freedom by Athos Bulcão and Marianne Peretti stained glass windows.
