Good morning people!!
Here I leave for you some extraordinary images from the War Museum of Thessaloniki. History unfolded before your eyes, there is not much to say about the incredible collections and presentations. Thankful that these kind of things are preserved so that to be able to take a glance into the past and slightly revive some forgotten memories.

i am thinking how much poorer, how much less colorful the world would be if art was only made by "professionals." if all the music, all the stories, all the sketches & paintings & craftwork of the world was created only by the small category of people able to make a decent living from their art. imagine if the only people allowed to create were the experts & the renowned & those aspiring to the top. what a grey world that would be. how much joy would be bleached away! i love you people who create for the sake of creating, i love you artists who do art for tiny audiences, i love you people who make things even just for one person, even just for themselves, even if no one's watching, thank you thank you thank you for decorating the world in which we all exist
#not a shitpost#related: the most powerful crafters alive are crocheters who spend 7+ years making an intricate table cloth no one is allowed to eat on#all that arcane magic into making a display object primarily for their own enjoyment#and that of the blessed few lucky enough to be invited into their home to behold what is by rights a sacred object#if you spend a certain number of hours crafting something u have the right to have it put in a shrine or museum of your choosing i think#you have imbued it with your Life Essence by sheer force of concentration and obsession it is Holy now#anyways. old ladies who knit/crochet/embroider etc are a thousands times more powerful and intimidating#than old white dudes who are obsessed with war memorabilia or whatever#i have nothing but respect awe and appropriate amounts of fear towards crafters. my liege

shockwave but its an metaphor for the horrors of war beyond man's comprehension
or alternatively: me at 3AM going into the kitchen in search of shredded cheese (8 found dead, 36 injuried)
based on that one cover by Mark Bright. you know the one.
#oh and also i've been listening a lot to the tank chats by the british tank museum lately#and i sort of wanted to go for a wwi war machine vibe for him#like going for this sort of sense of horror of seeing a tank for the first time#📼 transformers art tag#transformers#shockwave#maccadam#tf g1#original art#artists on tumblr

cnetizens post souvenir they got at various chinese museums
these are all fridge stickers
#china#art#crafts#museums#souvenir#also#British Museum#just return artifacts from other cultures to their countries#I don't know how many times it's been said#I remember that they did not know how to preserve a very precious Chinese painting (looted and traded by illegal means during the war)#but actually cut the painting into four pieces#as a result of which the paper of the painting began to deteriorate#and they had to go to China to ask for help#and China sent an expert in cultural relics preservation to restore the painting#and they still refused to give back these works of art at this point#smh

Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable was born in Saint-Domingue, Haiti (French colony) during the Haitian Revolution. At some point he settled in the part of North America that is now known as the city of Chicago and was described in historical documents as "a handsome negro" He married a Native American woman, Kitiwaha, and they had two children. In 1779, during the American Revolutionary War, he was arrested by the British on suspicion of being an American Patriot sympathizer. In the early 1780s he worked for the British lieutenant-governor of Michilimackinac on an estate at what is now the city of St. Clair, Michigan north of Detroit. In the late 1700's, Jean-Baptiste was the first person to establish an extensive and prosperous trading settlement in what would become the city of Chicago. Historic documents confirm that his property was right at the mouth of the Chicago River. Many people, however, believe that John Kinzie (a white trader) and his family were the first to settle in the area that is now known as Chicago, and it is true that the Kinzie family were Chicago's first "permanent" European settlers. But the truth is that the Kinzie family purchased their property from a French trader who had purchased it from Jean-Baptiste. He died in August 1818, and because he was a Black man, many people tried to white wash the story of Chicago's founding. But in 1912, after the Great Migration, a plaque commemorating Jean-Baptiste appeared in downtown Chicago on the site of his former home. Later in 1913, a white historian named Dr. Milo Milton Quaife also recognized Jean-Baptiste as the founder of Chicago. And as the years went by, more and more Black notables such as Carter G. Woodson and Langston Hughes began to include Jean-Baptiste in their writings as "the brownskin pioneer who founded the Windy City." In 2009, a bronze bust of Jean-Baptiste was designed and placed in Pioneer Square in Chicago along the Magnificent Mile. There is also a popular museum in Chicago named after him called the DuSable Museum of African American History.

Steve Rogers is a firm believer of museums giving back the artefacts that they stole, not only because he genuinely believes people deserve to have their things back, but also because the Smithsonian refuses to give him back he shit, and if he doesn't get his family recipe book his mother's jacket and his father's hat, god willing he will-
#steve rogers#headcanon#marvel#mr headcanons#captain America#mcu: the first thing he did after civil war ended was actually break into the Smithsonian and take back his shit#while also giving back other stolen things#Nomad was known for breaking into museums and giving stuff back to their rightful owners

My family went to a Star Wars museum and R2-D2 ate me. Sofia the First’s bones were in his stomach with me.
