Museu do Fado in Lisbon, Portugal

February 18, 2022

Fado is a genre of music that was born in the taverns and brothels of Lisbon’s underbelly in the early 1800s. Initially performed by and for those of ill repute, Fado was long seen as lowly— branded as transgressive and sinful, fit for tattooed sailors, irresolute drunkards, and languid prostitutes. In time, however, fado would be embraced by every rung of society, with artists selling out concert halls, winning Latin Grammys, and becoming a source of Portuguese national pride—an...

Quarry Exhibit Hall in Jensen, Utah

February 18, 2022

The Quarry Exhibit Hall at Dinosaur National Monument in Utah is home to a large wall containing more than 1,500 fossils. Some of the species that may be spotted are the Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, Diplodocus, and Stegosaurus. But the bones on this wall weren’t arranged by any curator or paleontologist—they were deposited by an ancient stream more than 150 million years ago. In 1909, paleontologist Earl Douglass uncovered eight segments of a large dinosaur tail at the top of a steep sandstone...

Uemachi Station in Sakawa, Japan

February 17, 2022

A hidden gem for any train lover, this “stationless” station houses a retro railway carriage, to honor a pioneer of Japanese civil engineering. Opened to the public in April 2021, inside this unusual “station” you will find a wooden Ro481 railway carriage from the Meiji period (1868–1912), which has been restored to how it looked during its heyday.

Museu da Farmácia in Lisbon, Portugal

February 17, 2022

Museu da Farmácia opened its doors in 1996 in Lisbon with the mission of preserving the tradition of the pharmaceutical profession in Portugal.

Meet the Woman Preserving the History of...

February 17, 2022

Every summer, Gwen Trice would pack her tent and drive from Seattle, where she lived at the time, to Oregon’s northeast corner, more than 300 miles away. There, in the shadow of the Wallowa Mountains, working ranches and glacial lakes dotted the high desert landscape. The rural setting was not unfamiliar to Trice; she’d grown up in La Grande, just an hour or so to the southwest. But she’d always felt a special connection to Wallowa County. Trice would...

At the edge of the town of Moab stands a store that is sure to interest hardcore geologists and casual visitors alike.

Dr. Tumblety's Time-Inspired Specialty Shop in Pittsburgh,...

February 17, 2022

This eclectic little store is stuffed with old timely colognes, charming knick-knacks, amazing books, and gorgeous hats that wouldn’t be out of place in the 1920s. The store is named for Francis Tumblety, an Irish-born American who earned a small fortune—and a reputation— in the late 19th century. Tumblety traveled across the United States and Canada, falsely claiming to be a doctor and peddling herbal medicines said to destroy pimples and cleanse the blood. According to some stories, he maintained an apothecary in...

The Chasms in Isle of Man

February 17, 2022

Algeria’s Ancient Melting Pot Faces an Uncertain...

February 17, 2022

Along the rocky, rumpled Algerian coast, just east of where the bulky silhouette of Mount Chenoua slides into the Mediterranean, the sea and bureaucratic indifference may finally do what the Vandals did not.
