Santos Dumont House Museum

Santos Dumont Museum House (Portuguese: Museu Casa de Santos Dumont), better known as The Enchanted (Portuguese: A Encantada), is a museum located in the municipality of Petrópolis, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

[1] The house is a picturesque residence built in 1918 for Aeronaut Alberto Santos-Dumont on a steep hillside near the centre of the city.

[2][3] The house also has no kitchen,[3] Santos-Dumont having all his meals delivered from the restaurant of the Palace Hotel,[2] which at that time was across the street.

[4] After his death, the house was donated to the City Hall of Petrópolis by his nephews so that "an institution was installed that would maintain his memory.

"[3][4][5] On July 14, 1952, the house was registered by IPHAN and today is part of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage.
