There’s something especially thrilling about coming face-to-face with an object like this. ✨
A tiny fragment of papyrus, nearly 2,300 years old, containing lines from Homer’s Odyssey, including three lines that don’t even appear in the version we know today. The first early Ptolemaic fragment of the Odyssey ever discovered, now quietly on view.

This is a Ruckers moa 17th-century keyboard instrument
-
This is a Ruckers mother-and-child virginal—a 17th-century keyboard instrument with a second, smaller instrument built into it, tuned an octave higher. The “child” could be pulled out to play duets or set on top of the “mother” to add a jangly, buzzing color to the main sound—a Renaissance-era layering trick, centuries before mixing desks. Antwerp instrument makers were doing this in the 1600s.

At first glance, this violino looks more like a sculpture than a musical instrument.
Its oversized, amoeba-like body was designed to maximize resonance while remaining fully playable. Though innovative, unconventional instrument designs like this have often struggled to gain acceptance despite their potential to improve performance, comfort, and accessibility.

This sculpture is the real life version of the 🤝 emoji!
In 1853, pioneering American sculptor Harriet Hosmer met poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and proposed an unusual artistic collaboration: a cast of their interlocked right hands.
Elizabeth Browning agreed on one condition—that Hosmer complete the casting herself, rather than her studio assistants. The sculpture captured the love between the Brownings, who had eloped to Italy seven years earlier
