It's been a year since Brazil's beloved National Museum was destroyed in a huge fire, believed to be caused by a faulty air conditioning unit.

The museum had one of the most remarkable collections in the world - from prized prehistoric skeletons, recordings of extinct indigenous languages, to the throne of a slave King. Brazil's entire history ran through the Museum.

After it burned down, Beatriz H枚rmanseder, a paleontologist working at the Museum, came up with a unique way to cope with the trauma of its loss. She got a tattoo of the building's facade and set up a project where other recovering students and staff could do the same.
