Little-known Heidelberg museum features art created by psychiatric patients of decades past.One that stuck with me was a hand-sewn jacket by Agnes Richter, a seamstress who was committed in 1893. She embroidered autobiographical phrases into the fabric in tight spirals of old German script.https://www.stripes.com/living/europe_travel/quick_trips/2026-01-01/quick-trip-prinzhorn-heidelberg-20173422.html #globalmuseum #museums #psychiatry

When Paris was paved with wooden cobblestones.Passage Saint‑Maur still has a few of those wooden blocks left, some of the last in the city.In the 1800s Paris used wood because it made the streets quieter, and it was cheaper to replace.But most were removed because they rotted or became slippery, which is why the surviving ones in Passage Saint‑Maur are so rare.@xmuse_ #globalmuseum #history #Paris

A Roman soldier’s frying pan with folding handle, dated 3rd Century AD. This practical Roman military frying pan, complete with a folding handle, likely belonged to a soldier of the Legio II Augusta, stationed at Isca (modern Caerleon, Wales).Designed for portability and durability, the pan was part of a legionary’s personal kit, used to prepare simple meals while on campaign or in barracks.#globalmuseum #Romans

Its clever folding handle made it easy to pack—showing how Roman military life balanced efficiency with everyday necessity.What’s striking is how familiar the design feels. The form and function are not far removed from cookware found in modern military mess kits, underscoring a timeless truth: soldiers across history share the same basic needs, regardless of era.#globalmuseum #Romans

A female Sonoran blue posed for the camera. This exquisite butterfly brings the the color of the sky to earth, complete with fiery orange sun spots. Bay Area lepidopterist Liam O’Brien calls their color “electric blue tinfoil.” "A lovely little insect" is how Holland described the Sonoran blue in his 1898 The Butterfly Book.@bethpratt #butterflies #globalmuseum #insects
