From altars and ammunition bags to whirligigs, writing desks, and yokes, objects in the Index vary widely.

A magnificent example of the educational materials used in the 19th century to popularize science through the magic lantern. Consisting of a mahogany case containing a series of glass plates mounted on wooden frames with mechanisms, it illustrates various phenomena of the Solar System. These animated plates, which allowed for the simulation of orbital movements, were essential for explaining astronomical concepts to the general public.

The blood-curdling #Permian monsters that ruled the Earth before #dinosaurs.
The Permian, an obscure era of geological history where the planet was ruled by giant, bone-chilling beasts that ran with a characteristic waddle and sometimes snacked on sharks.
