[1] The Memorial was designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, responsible for the main buildings of the Brazilia, at the request of Juscelino's widow and former First Lady Sarah Kubitschek.

[2][3] You can see photos and objects from the lives of Juscelino and Sarah, such as the presidential sash and the clothes they wore at the inauguration, as well as the former president's tomb.

Works by artists such as Athos Bulcão and Marianne Peretti complement the memorial's interior, Goiás.

Outside the memorial is what is possibly the most famous statue of Juscelino, made by Honório Peçanha, which stands on a pedestal almost thirty meters above the ground.

The idea for the shape and the pedestal was conceived by Niemeyer, who is said to have been inspired by the symbol of communism - which he has always denied, but which generated some controversy before its installation.
