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.

This Powerful Quote At The End Of The Holocaust Museum In Washington
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?
Load More Replies...maybe we should send this quote to Myanmar people. and remind them about the time they did nothing when the military attacked Rohingya village. the same military that are attacking them right now.
All people look the other way when they are not being affected by other people's horrible actions.
Itās not that they look the other way on purpose. Itās by design. Most arenāt 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 canāt afford mentally or financially to pay attention. And we were set up like that on purpose.
Load More Replies...I love this quote. It's such a powerful way to encourage people to stand up for each other. Whenever I see it/read it I feel it in my core.
Yes. But most people follow the sentiment up to "Then they came for me --- so I said hey I know these gays living down the road, so they went for them".

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.
Art Museum That Was Closed Due To Virus Outbreak Rearranged Exhibition So It Can Be Seen From Outside - Day Or Night. Salo, Finland
I've never been, but everything I've seen and heard about Finland convinces me that it's an incredible country.
Load More Replies...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 Two-Sided Statue Of Mephistopheles And Margaretta (19th Century) At The Salar Jung Museum In India. The Sculpture Is Carved Out Of A Single Log Of Sycamore Wood. Artist Unknown
is it Faust or Mephistopheles who is a great man in this case?))
Load More Replies...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.

Someone In This Museum Has A Sense Of Humor
This is at the Cleveland museum of natural history, on the basement level. Its not the only one either! Source: used to work there and would walk by it all the time, loved pointing it out to visitors. Not sure how long itās been there but seemed like a fixture in 2013.
I LOVE how it was purposefully "aged" to blend in with the other beetles. When humor meets education, the recipients excel.

This Tiny UFO That Crash Landed On The Wall Of A Technology Museum
Speaking of "little touches"... That "rope" string from the ladder to the ground did it for me.

Not accurate. If itās been identified as a UFO, itās technically just an FO, having been identified. When it crashes (or lands), itās just an O.
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

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.

Load More Replies...The museum itself is amazing, but a commonly overlooked fact was that Henry Ford was a fascist. And people wonder why I don't like Mustangs. But this has nothing to do with the museum, so I'm just ranting now
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.

Sam in the TV show Atyipcal uses all of these things. That show is truly a gem!
Thank you to the person that posted this. We've been having trouble getting our son to sleep ever since his plushy toy needed to be shelved because of being worn out. We got him replacements with the same fabric and size, but he still says it's too different. I just realized it's the weight that's different. The new one is too light! Thanks !!
As adults on the spectrum a lot of us carry a selection of these things around with us wherever we go so this is fantastic. It can be the difference between a nightmare of overwhelm or a pleasant outing so I'd definitely encourage lots more places to offer this!
Can't parents or grown Autism adults create their own backpacks to have whenever they need them? That would prob be very helpful based on their needs. But this is awesome for the museum to do

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.

Mark 10:25 - āIt 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

Possibly. It is in Japan, after all. Though I feel if Gara made it it would be much more lethal looking.

Saplings is usually a tiny part of the original tree that is either attached to a other tree or got re rooted
Isn't that called a cutting? I'm sure a sapling is just a young tree -but possibly this is different in different languages...
Load More Replies...Ah this is lovely! The actual tree was rotten to the core. The State tried all it could to preserve it (including steel structures to hold it up), but it still blew over during a storm in 2010. It's heartwarming to know there's a tree out there left as a reminder.
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 Frankās 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.
I didn't know she had a special tree. I must have missed something. Is it a small species, or is it stunted? Over time I would expect it to be more mature.
*Made*?? I would want to believe that it has *GROWN* from a sapling taken from Anne Franks tree. I didn't know you could make trees in some mysterious industrial way...

Humans are very imaginative when it comes to inflicting Hell on other beings. Since the dawn of time, we are held in check by laws and conventions. Otherwise, we would go feral.
That's what makes Lord of the Flies believable and horrible.
Load More Replies...I like the intent, but I hope they have accommodations for short adults.
Whatever is on those screens is happening in real time in the world today. I guess we ran out of compassion for everyone else.
WHO TAKE CHILDREN TO A HOLOCAUST EXHIBIT??? My first experience with the Nazi-time was at age 14! younger ones would not understand this brutal era of mankind...
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.
While I appreciate the reason, what about people in wheelchairs? They're excluding the disabled by doing this.
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.
All of these are the reason public museums are so important.
Load More Replies...ive been there, i think right next to it is a big room with a screen and a projector that shows every person that died on 9/11. We saw my dads friend who died and that was one of the few times ive ever seen him cry... Its really sad
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!
One of only 2 times I saw my dad cry was when he got back. He was a construction worker at the time and volunteered.
There is a heel there and you can see the trail of blood on the back of it.
I have always been wondering... Were they able to identify and bury them properly ?
Some bodies were, others were blasted into smithereens, so there was literally no body to find. Devastating.

The Chair Abraham Lincoln Was Assassinated In The Henry Ford Museum
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.
Load More Replies..."We can rebuild him. We can make him better than he was."
Load More Replies...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.

It's sad that even a museum claims the false story about Rosa Parks. The real heroine Claudette Colvin was not very happy about this falsification of history: "Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn't the case at all.".
Rosa Parks didn't end segregation. Neither did Claudette Colvin. One person never could've done it. What false story are you referring to? I was always taught their stories in conjunction with eachother.
