Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Wow, I got dragged here on a trip 21 years ago and had forgotten about it, thank you! Graz was the European art/cultural city of the year so there were pop-up exhibits all over for all kinds of incredible things so it was hard to see them all or remember. There was an incredible exhibit in the hillside underground caves that those in Graz hid in during bombings. Another was about the biblical tower of Babel that filled an entire manor of 3 or 4 floors, multi-sensory experiences, best exhibit of any art I've ever been to.
