Tracing historical values from the early modern times to today. From 9-5 I'm reading old books 📔, pamphlets 📜 and newspapers 📰 about Erasmus. Otherwise cultivating my own vegetables 🥕🍅, practicing new choreographies 💃🏼 or reading new books 📚
After walking some of the Linnéstiggar, Linnaeus' two houses, his garden and his orangery, I recognize a trend. He is always praised and never critically assessed, even when it concerns his travels to Sápmi such as this drum that was likely confiscated from its original Sámi owner.

Stay tuned.

Doen! Reis naar Hamburg en neem daar rond 22.00 de SJ nachttrein, dan sta je om 10.00 in de ochtend op Stockholm centraal en kun je nog dezelfde dag alles ontdekken. Als je haast hebt kun je rond 17.30 weer de nachttrein terug nemen zodat je om 12.00 weer in Nederland bent.

I could not make any pictures of the interior, but it is fascinating. The government acquired the estate directly from Linnaeus' daughter so it is in original state. Especially the drawn wallpaper depicting flowers in the study and bedroom are wonderful traces.

Thematical open stacks are the best! Some collections allow you to 'browse the shelve' digitally, which is not as fun but does allow you to bring a bag of the right size... (I looked up some of 'your' neighbors in Utrecht for you!)

Except if your library is open to others, especially students.
