Re: [meteorite-list] Fire Guts Museu Nacional in Rio de Janeiro
Yes, a great deal has been lost, and not just meteorites. If you look at the video that Andre Moutinho has kindly provided, you will notice that the Bendego and the Santa Luzia are fine, just dirty, and still on top of their pedestals. As for the others, I am told that the rarest ones like Angra were kept in a safe, but I don't know if the safe has been located yet. https://www.facebook.com/andre.moutinho.12/videos/10213992168931402/ more later.

Re: [meteorite-list] Brazil National Museum Completely Gutted by Fire
A fresco from Pompeii. Egyptian death masks. Thousands of Aztec, Inca, Olmec, and Toltec artifacts - the largest collection of pre-Columbian artifacts in the world. Not to mention all of the meteorites. This is a loss that will have ripple effects in numerous fields of science.
