    BREAKING: The National Museum of #Brazil in #Rio is completely consumed in fire. Founded in 1818, the museum is the holder of over 20 million items, including mummies, meteorites, insects, & fossils. So sad to see history in flames :( Video from @g1 live feed #museunacional pic.twitter.com/eCm8G6gKwA

        Please remind people the importance of museums, especially the smaller ones that fight for visibility & funding. The public often forgets until something like this happens.

        Most museums rely on funding from rich old white people (mostly men). This doesn’t have to be the case. And most overlook the contributions of POC. This can also change if museums receive enough feedback from the public.

        That is heart-wrenching. All that historical and cultural abundance just up in smoke.

        They didn’t have preventative measures in place or what? I’ll have to read the story. Very very sad 😞

        Didn't have proper fire prevention and sprinkler systems. Lack of funding?
