Historical Artifacts

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.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

UGH when is the Japanese art collection at LACMA going to reopen!! Its netsuke collection is amazing and I don’t think any of it has been on display for like 6 years now due to a museum remodel 😭
