As the pandemic took over the world, museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions closed their doors to adhere to new social distancing regulations. But don't worry. Bored Panda is here to help. We put together a list of cool museum exhibits so you could get your fix of culture even before these places open up again. And we included something for every taste as well. We're talking a WWII mannequin that looks like Bruce Willis. A miniature Volkswagen Beetle that found its way into a beetle collection. You name it. So continue scrolling and check out the entries. They should please your inner snob in no time.

How often do we fail to speak and act? Jews, Uyghurs, Rwandan Tutsi genocide, genocide over Bosnian Muslims, Kongoan genocide, ISIS genocide of Yazidis, Myanmar genocide of Rohingya...the list goes on, and this is ONLY in the last 100 years or so. I wonder what did the animals do to be punished to live in a world with humans.

But many people do! Power and proximity mean that oppression will always be with us. Who will take a stand against China, for example, with its gulag for Uighurs?

It’s not that they look the other way on purpose. It’s by design. Most aren’t educated enough to even question things let alone understand them, because education has been gutted by the xtian right. Most desperately need to self soothe because their lives are so destitute, from the middle class on down, that they literally can’t afford mentally or financially to pay attention. And we were set up like that on purpose.

We can't speak out for everything, that will be exhausting and will burn you out. So, I have always advocate parents to have at least one cause for their children. Can we imagine each child to have a cause in our world. I have several and I am very busy speaking out for the voiceless. It is part of me. (Pauline)

2020 was a time of crisis, innovation, anxiety, and introspection for all businesses, and museums were no different. Large galleries in cities which rely on international tourism found travel bans nearly ruinous to their business models. Some smaller regional museums, however, discovered a surprising upside as their institutions emerged as symbols of good, collaborative creativity in their communities.

Nearly every museum in the US has upped its digital offerings with online exhibits, curator video chats, and virtual kids’ activities. Many are also re-thinking their reach and collections in a time of accelerated technological change and turmoil in the U.S., debating how racial and social injustice are reflected in their art.

    All museums that can should put on exhibits that can be view in person for free. Art is created to be shared to all and not just the few who can pay the fee to get in. Most of us are very fortunate to be able to see great art work online, but it still is not like seeing it in person. Hooray for Salo, Finland for sharing to all.

    I was hugely grateful that so many museums and galleries created virtual shows online. I went around the world and back. The British Museum had an archive of past exhibits, including some antiquities which have seence disappeared thorugh damage, theft or war.

    From a practical, COVID-fighting standpoint, directors and staffers have learned everything they could about the mechanics of their workplaces, including ventilation and airborne virus transmission. Such knowledge tipped many institutions to open back up in the summer with safety precautions (masks, social distancing) and to close down again when coronavirus infections surged in November.

    The wooden double statue of 'Mephistopheles and Margaretta' representing evil and good are characters from Goethe's famous work 'Dr. Faust' (1808) and tells the story of love, heroism and tragedy. I googled it...

    I believe Goethe's Dr Faust is a reworking. Although it dates back much further in German lore, Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus predates Goethe's work and was a rather popular play in England, recent studies have arrived to the conclusion that it was published roughly around 1587 and not 1604 as originally believed. This was my "TIL" a while ago.

    Hehe, when I was of primary school age, our teachers selected me and a few others in our class to go to another school to meet an astronaut. When we got there, the astronaut showed us a big metal case and told us that there was a frozen alien inside it. Then when he opened the case it was empty and he told us that the alien had escaped. About half the group believed him. :D

    Dips and spikes in virus cases meant galleries in London, Paris, and Rome reopened at the start of summer and closed again in the fall during new coronavirus waves and lockdowns. In the U.S., the American Alliance of Museums found that a third of the 850 museums surveyed were still shuttered in October and more than 10 percent were worried about never reopening. In some smaller U.S. cities, the crisis has spurred museum directors to spearhead bold and creative efforts to survive.

    Pittsburgh, a city of 300,000 people, which has 50 museums and cultural centers, has a legacy of its industrial wealth in the early 20th century. Steven Knapp, the new executive of the four Carnegie Museums, started February 1, 2020, just weeks before a government-mandated shutdown hit Pennsylvania.

    During the early days of the pandemic, Knapp and leaders from other local institutions jumped on twice-a-month Zoom calls to discuss safety standards and reopening protocols.

    “For a city of its size, Pittsburgh is one of the richest cultural cities in the nation. We wanted people to come back and to feel they had a good experience,” Knapp explained.

    This meant that, when museums began letting tourists back in during the summer, with social-distancing stickers on the floors, guards enforcing mask-wearing, and, at most venues, timed-entry tickets.

    I don't think it's overlooked. I don't know a single person who doesn't know of Henry Ford's anti-Semitism, and the article discussing on how the museum acquired the bus even mentions it outright. They don't try to hide it. https://www.americanheritage.com/power-2857 (page 5, if you want to TL:DR it)

The CRM had the opportunity to get the bus, but people forget that it is rare for people to just GIVE museums displays - the museums typically pay for them (unless being borrowed from other museums) Page 5 asks and answers that very question. https://www.americanheritage.com/power-2857

    Museums have a wide range of business models. Some rely heavily on endowments, others on admission fees or special event rentals. And while many museums don’t expect their revenues to rebound to 2019 levels for at least another year, some supported by local taxes or large endowments have less dire financial futures.

And several generations of danes haven’t died, being more misbehaved or other thing by hearing it. The funny thing is that every generation invents new words that only they use as a ā€œkind of swearingā€. And these words don’t get worse.....

    To those whining about a 'bad' word, it's not a bad word to everyone. Different cultures have different standards, not better or worse ones. Don't expect all cultures to pander to the most sensitive of you because you grew up in a repressive culture.

    About half of Danish television is in English with Danish subtitles - they don't dub like in France and Germany, except for children's programs. I remember going to the cinema to see The Expendibles when it came out, and that was in English with Danish subtitles in the cinema. This was great for me, as although I can read a little bit of Danish, I struggle when it is spoken. Pretty much everyone I met spoke perfecly good English. Hell, they even held meetings in English just for my benefit and apologised when they had to do a tiny bit in Danish when they didn't know the odd word. Also, as only Denmark and Greenland speak Danish, if you want to appeal to the masses, then write in something which is at least a second language for most European countries.

    According to a recent survey conducted by the International Council of Museums, about 95% of all museums around the world were closed due to the pandemic, and art institutions reacted differently to having their doors shut. Some had to put staff on leave and others laid off up to half of their employees. Many museums successfully focused on expanding their digital archives and social media activity, and continue their efforts to survive.

    Pretty sad the lack of funding when I'm betting some museums with more wealth have artifacts from Kenya. Also the attention to detail is quite marvelous

    I was in Kenya several years back. Stopped by a fire hall and was surprised at the lack of gear. Asked the Firefighters about it and they said it wasn't really a lack of money, it was the money 'disappearing' as it made its way through the system to the department.

    How do we know that the entire universe is not just a figment of imagination by a brain so large that does not have any senses which has gone mad from infinite boredom and that's the reason we can't see the center of the Universe. And after the brain plays out the infinite number of years in this universe, it will scrap everything and start over and therefore all of us will infinitely relive our very lives with minute differences as the brain constantly retweeks everything to appease its insanity.

    This is the work of a black British artist called Willard Wigan. He is dyslexic and autistic and was treated like crap when he was at school. Luckily his mum supported him in his love of art. He is a really nice bloke. He exhibited some of his pieces at the museum where I work. If you want to buy one of his pieces they'll set you back around £30,000, but you do get the microscope too.

    Mark 10:25 - ā€œIt is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.ā€ However, the "Eye of the Needle" has been claimed to be a gate in Jerusalem, which opened after the main gate was closed at night. A camel could not pass through the smaller gate unless it was stooped and had its baggage removed. The story has been put forth since at least the 15th century and possibly as far back as the 9th century. However, there is no widely accepted evidence for the existence of such a gate.[8][9]. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_a_needle

    I've often wondered, however, the reason behind the forever concealing of fragile works. If no one can see/touch, what's the actual purpose? What are we preserving for? The Lascaux Cave paintings, for example, discovered but now sealed off from viewing. Seems a bit paradoxical??

    I'd like to point out that those artist don't use the kind of sand you find at a beach - way too eroded and round. They use a gritty type of sand that sticks together much more easily. There's still lot of sculpting skill required! But, it gives you a lot more options (sharp edges, pointy bits, overhangs...) than would be even possible with regular sand, regardless of skill.

    A Scion is a cutting from a tree that is grafted onto another tree.. A sapling is a young tree, older than seedling. They can be grown from seed, or grafter from scions into root stock. Suckers are the small trees that grow from the roots of a parent tree, usually when the parent is diseased or distressed. This sapling was transplanted from Anne Frank’s white chestnut tree as a seedling, and has now grown.

    From the Anne Frank website: The original white horse chestnut, was over 170 years old, and stood in the courtyard garden of number 188 Keizersgracht. It was one of the oldest chestnut trees in Amsterdam. When in 2005 it was found that the tree was suffering from a serious disease, the Anne Frank House decided, with the permission of the owner, to gather chestnuts, germinate them, and donate the saplings to schools named after Anne Frank and other organisations. Many Anne Frank Schools and other organisations and locations around the world have now been given a young tree. In 2009, 150 descendents of the tree were donated to the Amsterdamse Bos woodland park. In 2013, after three years in quarantine, the last young trees from the Anne Frank House seedling project were planted in the USA.

She was soon moving about pretty freely. What really amazed me is when she found a figure head sculpture of a woman, and she ran her hands over the figure, and knew it was a woman.

    This is done with a "lost wax" technique in a kiln. The wax is knit, then put into a cast, then pave glass is added via heat and poured in. Wax melts, glass replaces.

    That's how it works in older cities... For example, in Paris, when they built the Pyramid of the Louvre, they found Charles VI's golden helm. A few centuries earlier, they found the lost grave of Louise de Lorraine, queen of France and Poland, while they were destroying a former church to build the Rue de la Paix. In London, they found crypts of lords, bishops and knights several times when digging to build the subway or the sewer system, etc...

    The Denver Museum of Nature and Science has easter eggs like this hidden in all of their dinosaur murals. Since its very likely mom and dad are going to be taking their dinosaur obsessed kids to see the exhibit many, many times, they want to give those with dinosaur exhaustion a reason to keep looking.

    My grandmother survived a concentration camp but her parents and siblings never. She was the most important person in my life when I was growing up. She showed me so many videos of all the dead bodies and stuff from the Holocaust from the age of 4, which in turn means I am totally desensitized to death now.

    From what I've seen at different Holocaust museums they try very hard to be very inclusive, because the whole point is put it all out in the open, and make/keep people aware. I would be very surprised if they didn't have some kind of set-up for people in wheelchairs to be able to view.

    visited in 2019 and it was one probably the most heart-wrenching things i've experienced. you can literally feel the weight of everything that happened that day on your shoulders. it feels like you can't stand straight or take a full breath the entire time. exiting into the sunshine and finally taking a full breath almost feels wrong. it was really a heavy experience and so humbling.

    I've visited here, never have I ever been anywhere so eerily interesting! You can literally feel something when you're there, your heartbeat changes, it really does feel like you are at a memorial, it is probably one of the most somber but intriguing (in a good way as you can learn about the victims and their lives there and stuff) places I have and probably will ever visit. I really loved learning about all the victims but at the same time it broke me as you find out what they would become and what they left behind. I wish they did a documentary series or something (with the families permission) that showcases their lives. They were all so interesting!

They set up the museum in the City Market area & they had the same thing happen when there was a huge plumbing leak from seafood restaurant in another part of their building above the basement level. https://www.1856.com/

    Alongside Lincoln and his wife were a young military officer and his fiancee. He was badly injured, although no one realise how badly until he passed out after they'd moved Lincoln to the boarding house. His fiancee kept the dress she had been wearing but it was soaked with blood (mostly his but also some of Lincoln's). She experienced a vision of Lincoln in that rocking chair laughing in the middle of the night - which makes sense, the shot was timed to coincide with a big laugh to disguise the sound - and had the closet bricked up with her dress inside. Her fiance later went insane and tried to kill her and their children. She had the nanny lock the children and herself in the nursery while she distracted him. It cost her her life. He ended up in an asylum, After his death one of the children inherited her home with the bricked up haunted dress (lots of other people had experienced hauntings, although often benevolent ones) and had the wall torn down and the dress burned.

    AP had an article about this some years ago. The darker stain on the head area isn't actually blood but hair oil from other people who had sat there. Being a taller man, Lincoln's head would've been higher than the rocker upholstery. Not to say there isn't blood on the chair somewhere, but that particular stain was studied. I think some is also water damage from it's time at the warehouse as well if I recall correctly.

    As a Detroit born kid, I have seen this chair many times. Without a glass enclosure and with. The light colored areas are from visitors taking threads of the chair as a souvenir. It has been enclosed in glass to prevent further damage. Morbid, maybe - but historic. The best chair in the theatre for the President.

    When I was a kid in Ontario (1950-60's) my Dad put some marks on the lamp-post in front of our house. He told me they were 'hobo signs' , and secret. My parents were helpful and generous, and I met a lot of old, poor men who were passing through. It works!

    I grew up in the 30's when there were plenty of hobos that came to our door asking for food. It was a hard time for many people. My Mom always had something she could give them. I didn't know anything about the signs; we had a depot in our town - our interpretation of HOBO was "hop on board"". Railroads were BIG back then; as airlines are now.

    I remember seeing this exhibit when I took an anatomy class in high school, it was really amazing. The artist preserved real specimens using different parts of the body so you can see them up close and how the body works, moves, etc. It was a temporary exhibit in California when I saw it, but they have a standing one in Vegas. https://www.realbodiesatballys.com/ Definitely amazing and worth the visit.

    Once the arterial systems were preserved in the correct colors they dissolved the rest of the remaining organs/ bones/ muscle/ skin using a base protein eroding bath. Then after that had dissolved the majority of the non preserved body they did actually go in with tweezers and long thin scalpels to carefully remove the rest.

They have all sorts of dead babies in glass jars with birth defects and deformities like this. Went again as an adult about 15 years ago when I was 35 and I know I made the right decision.

    Also called a 'Gusunder' as it could be stored under your bed for if you were caught short in the night. As in 'it 'goes under'; Gusunder. Might just be a Yorkshire thing.

    My grandparents lived on a farm & didn't have an indoor toilet - they used a 5 gallon metal bucket with a wood seat my grandpa made. He would empty it in the outhouse in the morning. My grandma didn't have an indoor toilet until after grandpa passed away in 1968 and she moved to a little house in town!

    You have to understand, other countries don't allow the unsubstantiated health claims of foods and in many cases the same food there has far fewer ingredients than they do here, meaning they are purer. Therefore, many things we consume without thought are disgusting to other countries and in some cases not even allowed.

    This episode actually built an AMT model kit to use in the space station director's office window to represent the Enterprise staying nearby during the episode. Blooper note... from the space station, the Enterprise is orbiting at the same speed the space station is turning so it remains in exactly the same place in the same window for every scene. From the Enterprise point of view, the space station is turning in relation to their position. ...Oops...

    If you go by the colors of the players, and where you would have to be standing to operate them, it would only be three-player. Red team on the right, green team on the left and blue team opposite the camera.

    Hair Museum In Turkey

    Hair Museum In Turkey

    The story goes that the local potter was bidding farewell to a dear friend of his when he asked for something to remember her by. She cut off a piece of her hair to leave as a reminder. He put it up in his shop, and told the story to the visitors and tourists who passed through. Not to be outdone, other women who enjoyed the story left a piece of their hair as well. The museum started in 1979 when a selection was put up for display. It now holds an estimated 16,000 samples by the museum’s own count and is included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
