Lonely Planet review for Museu da República

Located in the Palácio do Catete, the Museu da República has a good collection of art and artifacts from the Republican period. Built between 1858 and 1866 and easily distinguished by the bronze condors on the eaves, the palace was home to the president of Brazil from 1896 until 1954, when President Getúlio Vargas killed himself. The bedroom in which the suicide occurred is eerily preserved on the 3rd floor.
