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.

Or a sculpture on the opposite wall that's just plaster casts of hundreds of middle fingers forming one big middle finger, and they all represent a real person who flipped them off.
