Located in Rio de Janeiro, The National Museum of Brazil houses, built in 1818, is a well-known museum of natural culture, which preserves precious historical materials, such as the Portuguese period to the Brazilian Republic Declaration, and more than 20 million artifacts, fossils and even It is the meteorite that we found in the hall.
However, this museum was on fire on Sunday (19:30 local time on September 2), and the fire was fierce. Although the staff in the museum escaped in time, a large number of cultural relics may have been irreparable. For the loss of these precious cultural heritages, it is true. It is a pity.
The museum is the oldest scientific institution in Brazil and one of the largest museums of natural history and anthropology in the Americas.
It houses several landmark collections including Egyptian artefacts and the oldest human fossil found in Brazil.
