It's nice to see those iconic cuddly toys. However the REAL Christopher Robin used to own a book shop in Dartmouth (UK) and I saw him a few times when I visited it. It would have been nice to have had a good old natter about his life but I respected his privacy and bought my books and left. 🐻🇬🇧

Thats a great rock!

thats so cool! this should be added to more museums.

I wonder why it sank.

Chilling.

That's great!

@RamiRudolph I appreciate what you are saying that Claudette Colvin was under appreciated, but I don't think you can say that Rosa Parks was overrated. Her stance was vital to the Civil Rights movement.

Protected by terra cotta warriors no less

That is devastating.

Vote don't cry. Vote like all of our lives depend on it.

So bone-chilling and heart-achingly sad. I cannot imagine the sheer horrors that survivors of the Holocaust witnessed. That is why it is so incredibly important to teach about the horrors of the Holocaust and other ethnic genocides that are still sadly taking place today.

It is in part, because of this, that I swore this; "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same."

The sculpture made from the pile of shoes from Yad Vashem still haunts me. Auschwitz_...x880-1.jpg

How are there actual people out there who deny this happened. Wtf is wrong with you?

So sad

And at the same time: MY existence is not in any way dependent on what OTHERS do, so I have no responsability to justify my life, EVEN in the dead eyes of Holocaust victims, or poets who were struck one day of how futile life can seem.

they look rather stone-faced to me

I hope they sell well made, locally sourced replicas at the gift shop.

Oh... this sparks joy!

I think this is great, but I imagine that the type of a person who denies vaccines is the sort of a person who probably doesn't go to a museum - "too controversial."

The most played instrument in the world😄 even my mother has had a go at it, so there is my proof.

So,Gru succeeded after all.

Pharaoh first.

beautiful

I love these pictures of how so many museums and other childrens characters where given masks and bandages it started happening quite early in the pandemic, and it reminded me of the good in people everytime i saw it. Still has that effect. Edit stupid autocorrect even tho I corrected it

One of the greatest joys of parenting for me was getting to learn how to pronounce about 60 dinosaur/prehistoric creature names correctly for my dino obsessed kid. I'm still really proud of myself for this one.

Why does this photo make me feel relaxed? (As someone with a lot of stress I have downloaded it to look at whenever it gets bad)

Flintstone vibes.

From the geological era of the 8 bit.

Living mice in the museum: "if I stay perfectly still when I see a human, they will think I'm just a display"

Right side, 2nd and 3rd down: I have Nikes that look like each of those.

Ah, Ea-nāṣir, we love you and your really shltty copper.

Only in Netherlands.

Brian May.

"intimate assault"? What in the name of the Orwellian language police is that? . Don't be afraid to say the word r-a-p-e (cuz THAT'S what it is), even if the idiotic censors won't let you.

Worlds earliest attempt at googly eyes.

H. R. Giger was a brilliant artist, but I would not want to be inside that man's head!

that makes me nervous

This seems more wholesome and fun than a lot of modern drinking games.

I live near by and many times have been asked to please take a photo with the bear.

It was amazing

Conjoined twins has been said for some years now, though remembering Chang and Eng is not a bad thing.

The right-hand (our left) pieces are recreations to show how the original would have looked.

I am betting this would mess with a fundamentalist's mind.

Back then the concept of a slip on sock shoe wasn't popular or even in production like they are today. Even the chunky heals weren't a thing on sneakers. It's funny how this predicted the future of shoes sans the self tying laces.

Ethereal.

I grew up thinking the big flared part in back was defense, turns out it was more for turning on the ladies. Which makes me feel like there were able to live peaceably enough to work out their s3x life enough to develop such "flair"

German forces did something similar and built wooden aircraft to try and fool the Allies, Bomber Command were actually aware that the airfield was a decoy so after it was completed they flew over and dropped a wooden bomb on the fake airfield.

I look at that and feel like I am about to be slapped by a wave and will drown.

I think my chonky cat may be rounder…
