39. Natural History Museum, Delhi, India

This amazing museum was built to commemorate the 25th anniversary of India’s independence from British rule. It held an enormous collection of fossils that people would travel from all over the world to see. Archaeologists and historians were especially interested in the 160 million-year-old fossilized skeleton of a dinosaur that the museum boasted.

Sadly, in 2016, a devastating fire decimated the museum and the collection inside. It’s unclear how much, if any, of the specimens were recovered after the fire was put out, but everything inside was irrevocably ruined from the intense heat.
