Word on the street has it that the fire at the National Museum in Rio started because of an illegal oversize ballon falling on its roof, and I can testify to the dangers of such activity, after all, in my wild days as a teenager spending vacation in my grandma's house in the suburbs, that was our fav. weekend fun...setting up giant balloons in a soccer field just to race after them in our cars, sometimes watching them falling on people's home, to their dismay. I hope the gossip is ill-founded; such a shame to lose such an immense and important archive of art.
