Library Acadêmico Luiz Viana Filho, Special library at Federal Senate complex in Brasília, Brazil
The Library Acadêmico Luiz Viana Filho contains over 500,000 volumes, including books, periodicals, and legislative documents supporting the Federal Senate's work.
Founded in 1826, the library began in Rio de Janeiro's Conde dos Arcos Palace before relocating to Brasília, where it continues serving Brazil's legislative needs.
The library maintains a collection of 72,000 newspaper copies and three million press clippings, documenting Brazil's social and political evolution through media.
Located in the Senate's Annex II building, the library opens Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, offering research services to legislators and public visitors.
The library preserves the 1633 edition of Novus Orbis in a climate-controlled vault, alongside other rare materials from Brazil's legislative history.
