💨 Abstract

A prominent museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, reopened after a 7-year closure following a devastating fire. The National Museum showcased its 20-million-artifact collection to journalists and special guests on Monday, with a full reopening planned for the public on Wednesday. The reconstruction, budgeted at nearly 517 million Brazilian reais, is set to be completed by the end of 2027.
