Rio de Janeiro, Sept 3 (IBNS): A fire broke out at the National Museum of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro which left the 200-year-old structure destroyed, media reports said on Monday.

The National Museum is one of the largest natural history and anthropological museums in the country.

BREAKING: The National Museum of #Brazil in #Rio is completely consumed in fire. Founded in 1818, the museum is the holder of over 20 million items, including mummies, meteorites, insects, & fossils. So sad to see history in flames :(

There have so far been no reports of any injuries in Sunday's fire, reported BBC.
