It's nice to finally be able to read some bit of good news about this incident.

I admire the "fighting spirit" of the team working on the recovery.

Does anyone have latest  information about the progress in restoring this treasure?

They're slowly digging through the ashes and finding much destroyed, of course, but quite a few intact objects:

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

That was sad to read. Did they ever find the cause of the fire?

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

It is a tragedy for science that the National Museum of Brazil has burned down. So far I have not commented anything but it has been lost unfortunately so I read a lot of paleontological, geological and biological material of incalculable value. It reminds me of the unfortunate event that happened a few days ago with the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. In both cases it is a very great misfortune, but the important thing is that no one has died in both catastrophes. It's sad news anyway.  :(
