A Month After the Fire, The National Museum Receives Emergency Repair and Demands a Budget of $27 Million
It?s been a month since Brazil lost one of its oldest and most representative assets. A fire destroyed and erased more than 200 years of the Paço de São Cristóvão?s architectural history.

The National Museum is seeking to rebuild in the aftermath of the tragedy.
