VOICED : El Museo Nacional de Rio inicia su reconstruccion tras incendio de 2018

The video discusses the reconstruction of the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro after a devastating fire in 2018. The restoration focuses on the 19th-century Imperial Palace, with significant challenges in recovering the museum's extensive collection. International assistance is sought to restore the 200-year-old collection. Efforts by paleontologists and archaeologists have salvaged some artifacts, including a 12,000-year-old human fossil and a dinosaur fragment. The fire, caused by an air conditioning short circuit, led to significant losses, with plans to recover a fraction of the items. The museum's exterior is set to open in 2022, with full completion by 2026.
