After three years from the tragic fire of September 2nd, 2018, The Museu Nacional\/UFRJ\u2019s Direction, the Project Museu Nacional Vive\u2019s Executive Committee (UFRJ, UNESCO, Instituto Cultural Vale<\/em>) launched today, during a press conference, a campaign to reconstitute its collections. It was also presented a \u201cDeclaration of Commitment to Rebuild the Collections of Museu Nacional,\u201d an allusion to the Brazilian Declaration of Independence signed on the same day in 1822 by Empress Leopoldina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although this date is marked by a tragedy, the Museum director, Alexander Kellner<\/strong>, highlights the importance of such initiative. \u201cWe are fully aware that our success depends upon intense national and international collaboration. We need specimens of animals and plants, fossils and minerals, ethnographic, historical, archeological, and many other objects in other to rebuild the lost collections. We are estimating that our new exhibitions will occupy 5.500 m2<\/sup>, and will need around 10.000 objects, which will be presented in four different exhibition circuits\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The campaign and the Declaration of Commitment aim to call upon research institutions, different society representative collectivities, collectors from all over the world can come together and help the Museum in this challenging mission to recreate this institution. We are expecting that others can see as us an example to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
