A substantial fossil contribution assists in the revival of Brazil's National Museum after the fire.


The National Museum of Brazil, devastated by a fire in 2018, has received a significant donation of ancient Brazilian fossils from a Swiss-German collector, Burkhard Pohl. The donation, comprising about 1,100 specimens, is the largest and most scientifically important contribution to the museum's efforts to rebuild its collections. This gesture not only helps to restore the country's natural heritage but also sets a potential global model for museum development in the 21st century. The donated fossils, including plants, insects, and dinosaur remains, provide valuable insights into Brazil's prehistoric past. The museum is actively seeking further donations and collaborations to aid in its restoration and expansion.
