Fire Destroy Brazil’s National Museum

 

   The cause of the fire at Brazil’s national museum is still not ascertain, however it was gathered the museum reportedly had infrastructure problems in recent years. In a statement, the museum said the blaze started after it had closed to the public on Sunday night (local time).

   The museum also housed Egyptian artefact collection, the largest in Latin America, included items which once belonged to Italian explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni — who was the first person to get into the second pyramid of Giza and cleared the sand from the entrance of Abu Simbel temple complex.
