CitizenVectron Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yeah I'd say that's a total loss. Am I safe in assuming that there were no adequate fire-prevention or fighting methods in place despite this being such an important building? Being that it is a stone building you'd think that some fire-proof doors would have done quite a bit, along with a proper suppression system.

vaxick Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Ugh, always a sad day when priceless pieces from history get destroyed. I have to imagine that museum was a treasure trove for historical artificats too. Hopefully some can be salvaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some can be salvaged. 90% of the museum's items may have been destroyed and the remaining structure is at high risk of collapse.
