I have no words to describe the sadness of this moment.
The oldest Museum of Brazil is now on flames, there were more than 20million itens from all around the world on its collection.
Not only that, but the building itself is part of Brazil’s history as the home for the Imperial family for almost 100 years, and in 2018 was the celebration of its 200years.

Sad day for Brazil’s memory, culture and knowledge.
