“Museus de Tudo e Depois - Museums of Everything and Afterward”
MUSEU NACIONAL DA QUINTA DA BOA VISTA - Rio de Janeiro, August 2009.
“The pretty baroque palace that was once the home of Brazil’s royal family is now home to vast and incredibly varied collection; many items were originally acquired by the Emperor Pedro II and Empress Teresa, who dabbled respectively in botany and archaeology. The grand entrance hall shows many of the more exotic items: mastodon trunks, a saber-tooth tiger skull, the full skeleton of a giant Pleistocene sloth (5m/16 ft. long!), and a monster meteorite cut in cross section so visitors can run their hands across its polished iron-nickel surface.
