A massive fire raced through Brazil's 200-year-old National Museum in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, probably destroying its collection of more than 20 million items, ranging from archeological finds to historical memorabilia. The destruction of the building was an "incalculable loss for Brazil," President Michel Temer said in a statement. [Photo/VCG]
