one of the oldest and arguably the most important museum in Brazil is burning to the ground. home to the portuguese royal family from 1808 to 1821, the Museu Nacional stored fossils, meteorites, pre-historic human skeletons and a variety of artifacts related to natural history.

another sad and downright infuriating instance where the state's indifference towards culture and history becomes painfully obvious. this is a massive blow to our cultural legacy. just. inadmissible.

Some of the things that are now probably lost forever - the largest collection of Egyptian artefacts in Latin America - the skeleton of the largest flying reptile ever found in Brazil - the oldest human fossil ever found in the country, named "Luzia" (over 11.000 y.o)
