I think the reason I hate museums is that nothing happens. Like cool a room of plates old rich people used. also there's like an unspoken shame that comes with walking too fast. youre expected to be there for like a few hours. And i process stuff fast enough to get in and out in like a half hour to an hour depending on the size of the meusem
Point is: meusems aren't for me. (Unless u have a hyperfixation on history of some sort. Must be heaven) but like... where is the flavor. U walk and u look at like war memorabilia
Trying to remember this fic, I don’t know what it was about or even who the other half of the main pairing is, but it has this one line about Tim falling for competence above all else and that he spent some time pining over an elderly (art?? Meseum??) curator and was heartbroken when he found out she was married. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
DAF Siluro Concept, 1968, by Michelotti. The Siluro (Italian for torpedo) was an early example of wedge design. Based on the 55 model, like most DAFs it used a Renault engine and had belt-driven “variomatic” CVT transmission. Holland’s indigenous manufacturer DAF were continuously variable transmission pioneers (Holland is quite flat). They were taken over by Volvo in the 70s, providing the Swedes with a ready-made small car range. The restored Siluro is housed at the DAF Meseum in Eindhoven
I went yesterday to a museum...And XVIIIth century cups were TINY ! They looked like they could fit within the palm of my hand. It's why the ladies are shown with their pinkies up: it was this way more comfortable to hold the cups, or at least is comfortable, because it's so tiny that the pinky finger doesn't do any weight lifting. The Tsar Piotr Ier was a very tall man, and his extant boots were gigantic to fit his size, so he obviously took in the baroque fashion for political reason as opposed to his physical comfort, since...I cannot image they would be super easy to hold for a big, strong man like he was. The meseum also had some cups that were porcelain, and more representative of the average, non-metalic teacups of the XVIIIth and XIXth century, still much smaller than the modern ones.
Now, I need to visualize the Sanson family drinking out of TINY little cups.
