The Perkins Globe

[cjsmith]

"The Perkins Globe started as a teaching tool for students like Helen Keller, and 180 years later people still want to touch it." Made in 1837 from over 700 pieces of wood, it stands perhaps six feet high and has been renovated multiple times.

that's beautiful. also in amazing condition considering it's designed to be touched.

Isn’t it? It’s true one of the renovations (restorations?) was pretty recent, but still. Amazing.
