Shaw House Bullet Hole in Shaw, England

August 23, 2025

Legend has it that one October morning, in 1644, when moving close to the window to get better light to conduct his morning toilet, Charles I was almost removed from history. A bullet, shot by a Parliamentarian soldier, crashed through the glass and embedded itself in the wooden panelling, narrowly missing the king of England. The bullet hole from this alleged attempt on the king’s life can be seen in the King Charles Room in Shaw House, a Tudor...

Gabinete de Curiosidades (Cabinet of Curiosities) in...

August 22, 2025

What did museums used to look like? The University of Coimbra’s Science Museum attempted to answer this question by pooling together a variety of works from its collections into a single room. The Cabinet of Curiosities exhibition evokes the 18th-century mindset of organizing things according to an aesthetic rather than empirical logic. The result is a treasure trove of objects. They range from the scientific (a whale skeleton), to the wondrous (the world’s largest seed), to the grotesque (a taxidermied...

August 22, 2025

Nishiki Tenmangū Shrine was founded in 1003. It was originally located at the birthplace of Sugawara no Michizane—a 9th-century aristocrat who posthumously became a deity in the Japanese pantheon, the much-revered (and feared) god of academia known as Tenjin. It was later relocated in the 16th century to the eastern edge of Kyoto’s bustling Nishiki Market, earning its prefix. The shrine is notable for its ill-positioned torii arch. At first, it merely served as the shrineÆs entrance. Then, when...

Walsingham Abbey in Walsingham, England

August 21, 2025

Lourdes, Fátima, Guadalupe, Knock. There are many sites that are sacred to Christians for alleged visions of the Virgin Mary. One of the oldest sites with that distinction is in the tiny North Norfolk village of Walsingham. The story goes back to 1061, five years before the Norman invasion of England. English noblewoman Richeldis de Faverches claimed to have had three Marian visions, during which she was shown the house of the Annunciation, the building in Nazareth where Christians believe Jesus was...

Sabu Disk in Cairo, Egypt

August 20, 2025

The siltstone Sabu disk was discovered by Walter Emery in 1938 at the Saqqara Necropolis south of Giza. It is named after an official in whose mastaba tomb it was found. Dating from the First Dynasty around the 30th century BCE, few such objects have ever been found with a bizarrely modern, steering wheel-like design.

Sapporo Clock Tower in Sapporo, Japan

August 19, 2025

In a country and city where buildings are often considered to have a 30-year lifespan, the Sapporo Clock Tower is an obvious outlier. Built in 1878 when Sapporo was still being settled by Japanese, it is the oldest building in the city as well as the oldest clock tower in the country. While the Shinkorō tower in Hyogo is technically older, it was not used as a clock tower until later on. Sapporo largely owes its development to American...
