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)] Yeah that's the wrong museum, it's not the national historical museum that's burning, it's the national museum. 2 Different museums, the thread title is incorrect This is the museum. [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Well, that's misleading. I thought they were after science history, not historical history. Not that it's any better...it just helps to key in on who was most likely responsible.
