Why don’t we live in an Art Nouveau world? (Asterisk)

[ed. Not a big fan of Gaudi's work (which I associate mostly with the term gaudy). But do love Art Deco. See also: Art Deco vs Nouveau: What’s the Difference? (Design Confidential).]

Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine, Kyiv

via:

The holdings of the Vernadsky National Library include large collections of manuscripts, rare printed books and incunabula. The library has the most complete collection of Slavic writing, including the Peresopnytsia Gospels, one of the most intricate surviving East Slavic manuscripts.

The Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine is the world's foremost repository of Jewish folk music recorded on Edison wax cylinders. Many of these were field recordings made during the Soviet or pre-Soviet era by ethnologists such as Susman Kiselgof, Moisei Beregovsky, and Sofia Magid. Their Collection of Jewish Musical Folklore (1912–1947) was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register in 2005.  ~  Wikipedia
