On 2 September 2018, a devastating fire broke out in Brazil’s National Museum in Rio de Janeiro.

It is believed that the museum has been completely destroyed, along with a sizeable proportion of its archive which is estimated to contain over 20 million items related to the history of the Americas. While there were no reports of injuries, two of the museum’s vice-directors said that the loss to Brazilian science, history and culture was “incalculable”.

The museum, which was founded in 1818, had recently celebrated its 200th anniversary, but had begun falling into disrepair; an issue which some Brazilians complained was the result of the government’s austerity cuts to science and education, and broader neglect of national assets.

The cause of the fire is as yet undetermined. There were reports that firefighters were unable to adequately tackle the blaze at first because two hydrants were empty, prompting them to have to pump water from a nearby lake.

Rio de Janeiro’s chief Colonel Roberto Robaday said: “This is an old building with a lot of flammable material, lots of wood and the documents and the archive itself.”

Brazil’s president, Michel Temer said “Today is a tragic day for the museology of our country. Two hundred years of work research and knowledge were lost.”
