Résumé / Abstract
The fire that destroyed the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro in 2018 reveals its extent until today. In addition to the Archaeological Collection in the museum, whose losses are gigantic, there was another collection about which little or nothing was known: the paintings, lost 100% in the tragedy and never fully studied. This paper focuses on the consequences of the fire and the impact of the losses on the museum's collections.
