Philadelphia's oldest museum goes extinct after 200 years
Almost two centuries of natural history just got locked behind doors, and nobody seems happy about it.
After nearly 200 years of hanging out with fossils, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia has officially called it quits. Locals, scientists, and even some politicians tried to stage a last-minute rescue mission, but the doors are shut nonetheless.
It is wild that a place surviving two centuries couldn't outrun the current situation. The city just lost a massive cultural cornerstone, and honestly, the silence in those halls is going to feel pretty hollow from now on.
History is apparently only as permanent as the bank account backing it up.
