Brazil Football Museum

A new museum opened in Pacaembu, Brazil

The cost of the museum

$15 million U.S. dollars


“This is a place for us to worship,” said Mario Vieira, a 53-year-old banker standing outside the museum, which is housed in the Pacaembu Stadium. “Brazilians have soccer in their blood.”
The museum incorporated an area where a viewer can actually kick a soccer ball towards a net along with getting a picture taken while doing so. Brazil shows their appreciation for their well known football stars by making a museum of it. Not to mention while walking in, a recording is set so that each person is given a warm welcome from the legendary Pele.
This is a place to go for fans and friends to appreciate the accomplishments made in history (Five World Cups) in Brazil Football. Another interesting fact was that there is a room for fans to go and act as if they were at a game or learn different skills and tools about the game of football. It's a learning experience that can be fun. There is more than one room that is able to show your emotions for the sport. One room was also said to make you feel the pain for the 2-1 loss. This isn't only the highlights of Brazils proud football team, but also the the things that caused great pain for the players. I think it's going to be a great place for anyone to go and see for a better education on Brazillian Football and its success.
The idea of the museum was created by Jose Serra. While he was governing.
“I imagined a museum fundamentally made up of ideas, memories, and not so much of relics,” Mr. Serra told them. “I thought of something that would express the memory of our soccer, the great performances as well as our sufferings.”
