  1. TIL Sweden has a unique collection of artifacts from China, due to a contract between the Swedish archeologist JG Andersson and the Chinese government in the 1920s. He got to keep 50% of the finds he made together with Chinese colleagues. The other 50% was kept by China, but got lost around WWII.

    (The hashtag, in case you're wondering, refers to the radio report where I heard about it first. Didn't know _how_ unique the collection is, though.)
