Rising from the ashes of Brazil's Museum Nacional fire
The National Museum of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro, known as Museum Nacional, held the distinction of being the largest and most ancient natural history museum in Latin America. In 2018, the museum proudly commemorated its 200th anniversary. However, tragedy struck on the evening of September 2nd when an electrical fire ignited on the ground floor, and over time, it transformed into an uncontrollable inferno that ravaged the entire edifice, resulting in the irreparable loss of nearly all its cherished collections.
