A beautiful modern church built with concrete and blue stained glass. Bosco was a 19th-century Italian priest whose writings, some say, prophesied the creation of Brasilia. It's hard not to notice the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the square church.
Brasilia's main theatre features 3 main halls for plays and concerts, art galleries and temporary art exhibitions.
Brasilia's newest museum was built to be the city's home for renowned national and international exhibitions. As of 2012, the outside space has become a regular venue to free concerts and events, and very popular for skating, but its collections are temporary and severely lacking both in size and importance. However, give it a try, it's free.
Parque da Cidade

With its 16 curved 90-ton concrete pillars and stained-glass panels, it is one of the world's most amazing modernist buildings.
This is a museum dedicated to the life and accomplishments of the president, and houses his remains as well. It's located underground and has a slightly spooky 1960s science-fiction feel to it.
