Šariš Museum in Bardejov (museum of Šariš region) was founded in 1903 as The Museum of Šariš County. Its first exposition and object purchases were focused on natural history. In 1907 a new historical exposition was opened in the interior of the City Hall and it was composed from the objects donated by church institutions and organizations. The museum safely survived the First and Second World War. Nowadays it is known because of its natural history and historical exposition, but also because of its ethnographic open-air exposition and Carpathian Icons Gallery, one of the largest of its kind in Europe. It is one of the biggest museums in Slovakia with its collection of 700,000 objects.

GÉRARDMER, Vosges, France. The electric tram to the Schlucht (1910s)

GÉRARDMER
The electric tram ascending to the Schlucht.

Postcard published by A. Largeron, Nº 77. (1910s)

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Schlucht pass (at 1,139 meters above sea level) served as the border between France and the German Empire. On 29 June 1904, an electric tram line was inaugurated from Gérardmer, and on 13 May 1907, on the German side, another tram line was put into service from the Alsatian city of Munster. At the top of Schlucht there were, therefore, two tram stations, and both passengers coming from France and those arriving from Germany had to get off and walk a few meters if they wanted to continue their journey towards the neighboring country: the journey between Gérardmer and Munster took two hours and a half. To change lines, passengers had to go through customs. Both services were interrupted during the First World War and resumed in the 1920s, until they were permanently suspended on 28 August 1939 and replaced by a bus line.

PALACE HOTEL DE BUÇACO, Luso (Mealhada), Portugal. Postcards

PALACE HOTEL DE BUSSACO
Luso (Mealhada), Portugal

2 postcards (1970s / 1980s).

The Buçaco Palace is a former convent that today houses a luxury hotel located in the Buçaco mountain range, in the municipality of Mealhada, in central Portugal. It is a national monument. The area around the Buçaco Palace was part of a Discalced Carmelite convent established in 1628. The monks of the Convento de Santa Cruz do Buçaco not only built a convent but also created a luxurious garden with many species of trees. The Palace Hotel of Buçaco was built between 1888 and 1907. The first architect was the Italian Luigi Manini (1848-1936), who designed a Romantic palace in Neo-Manueline style, evoking the 16th-century architectural style that characterised the peak of the Portuguese Age of Discovery. The Buçaco Palace is inspired in iconic Manueline buildings like the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower, both located in Lisbon.

MUSEO STORICO P.C., Roma (Italia)

MUSEO STORICO P.C., Viale Europa, 00144 Roma EUR (Italia). Cartolina pubblicitaria.
[Il museo delle poste e telecomunicazioni italiano è gestito da Poste italiane e dal Ministero delle Poste e Telegrafi. Le stanze del museo occupano una superficie complessiva di 4000 m² nelle quali vengono raccolti oggetti, cimeli, francobolli che riguardano la storia della posta italiana che spazia dal telegrafo al computer passando per la radio e la televisione. Il primo abbozzo di questo museo è del 1878. In quest'anno Ernesto D'Amico fa creare presso l'ufficio dei Telegrafi a Firenze una raccolta di materiali telegrafici provenienti dai dagli antichi stati italiani prima dell'Unità d'Italia e non più utilizzati dall'unificazione italiana stessa. Successivamente, nel 1890, Pietro Lacava, volle un museo della posta da unire a quello telegrafico di Firenze, così fece organizzare e catalogare tutti quei cimeli che testimoniassero l'evoluzione delle comunicazioni nel corso della storia. Nel 1897, Emilio Sineo, continuò l'operato di Lacava, incrementando le acquisizioni nonché le donazioni di privati arrivando ad un rilevante patrimonio museale. Nel 1907 il materiale museale fu trasferito a Roma. Nel 1939 fu trovata una sede in un ufficio postale nel quartiere Prati. Tuttavia, solo dopo il termine della secoda guerra mondiale il museo venne aperto, questo il 21 giugno 1957. Nel 1977, il museo fu trasferito nella sede attuale ed inaugurato solamente nel 1982.]
