20 Million Items Lost!!
Quoting: Guythu 'The National Historical Museum of Brazil, was created in 1922, and possesses over 287,000 items..' [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] It was actually built in 1818. Has over 20 million artifacts. That's what you get with Wikipedia though.  'The architectural complex that houses the museum was built in 1603 as the St James of Mercy Fort; earlier structures date back to 1567, erected by order of King Sebastian I of Portugal. In 1693, the Calaboose Prison, for slaves, was built. In 1762, the Casa do Trem was added as a depot of weapons and ammunition. The last additions are the War Arsenal (1764) and the Barracks (1835). ' [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] This one from wikipedia is another museum. The Museum that burned is the National Museum, this one that you sent the link is the national historical museum. This is the wikipedia of the museum that burned. [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]
