Lab 111 in Amsterdam, Netherlands

August 23, 2024

A monumental century-old building with the inscription “Pathologisch Anatomisch Laboratorium” on the facade is one of the best examples, beloved by the locals.

Now, it houses a cinema known for its screenings...

Kennedy Farm in Sharpsburg, Maryland

August 23, 2024

In the summer of 1859, John Brown rented this small cabin and farm as a barracks, training ground, short-lived antiracist utopia, and launching point for his fateful raid on Harpers Ferry.

Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park in Tambon...

August 23, 2024

The island of Bang Krachao is often known as “Bangkok’s Green Lung,” but also colloquially as “Pig Stomach Island.” This used to be a peninsula formed by a bend of the Chao Phraya River, but these days, a thin canal separates it from the mainland, making it technically an island. Although not located within the limits of Bangkok proper, it is almost completely engulfed by its metro area, making it one of its most important zones of low-rise development...

August 23, 2024

This is a beautiful small garden straight off a main road in the Cotswold town of Chipping Campden.

The garden was created in the 1970s to commemorate Ernest Henry Wilson who was born in Davies House, Lower Street, Chipping Campden in 1876 (the house now has a commemorative plaque). He went...

Quarter of Saint Theodore in Pula, Croatia

August 23, 2024

Along the stunning coast of Pula’s residential area is Saint Theodore’s Quarter, known as Četvrt Sv. Teodora in Croatian, and the home of many archaeological finds.

Why Medieval Women Sometimes Fought in Bloody...

August 23, 2024

Tucked within the Danish Royal Library in Copenhagen and the Bavarian State Library in Munich, rare medieval manuscripts depict something unusual, even for the Middle Ages—a man and woman fighting in a trial by combat. The man is drawn waist-deep in a hole armed with an edged club, while the woman circulates above, flinging what looks like a rock in a sock. Both are drawn with furrowed brows, fierce snarls, and bloodied limbs. You may have even seen these...

The Impressive Trickery of Spider-Tailed Horned Vipers

August 23, 2024

Each week, Atlas Obscura is providing a new short excerpt from our upcoming book, Wild Life: An Explorer’s Guide to the World’s Living Wonders (September 17, 2024). Over the mountains near the western Iranian desert, a peckish migrating lark spots a welcome sight: a big, juicy spider, out in the open like a pie on a windowsill. The lark descends upon the naive arachnid, little claws outstretched. And then: WHAP. The meal-seeker has become the meal, trapped in the...
