The restoration of Brazil’s National Museum, destroyed by a fire on Sept. 2, could take years, experts told journalists on Sept. 18.
Jose Luiz Pedersoli who works for the ICCROM, the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property in Brazil, said that based on experiences in other countries, it could take up to 10 years to restore just a part of the vast collections that were on display in the Brazilian museum.
