Trivia Advent Calendar

[J. Beckert]

Welcome back to day 5 of the Trivia Advent Calendar fun! While Eva is busy wooing the Bundestag this week, I'll be filling in.

I just love going to museums. Don't you? And every-time I do, I try and turn it into a "living history" experience. Which for me means - touching their historical stuff. It's usually frowned upon, but why should they bogart all the cool stuff they have? Cordoned off areas, chains and "Alarm will sound" signs mean nothing to me in my pursuit of connecting, on a personal level, with historical things. This is why I'm banned from any future tours at the Surratt Tavern without a chaperone, a leash and a shock collar, but it gives me an immense, intrinsic satisfaction. Today's installment highlights one of my many achievements.

Take a look and see if you can figure out what it is and where I violated decorum to get this shot.
