Museum artefacts saved from Brazil fire

A devastating fire spread through the National Museum of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on September 2, destroying 20 million items that are an irreplaceable record of the country's history. People have been finding scraps of documents or parts of animals from the entomology department and have been returning them to the museum. Scheila and Douglas Alvarenga discovered papers in the aftermath and acted quickly to save them.
