   Another week. Another museum. This week the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm. I came here largely to see this one tool chest.

   It's the Mästermyr toolchest. A 1000 year old chest filled with blacksmithing and woodworking tools. It's an incredibly important find. Beautifully preserved in the bog. The tools are wonderful. I'd seen pictures and read about these tools, but to see them up close. That hack saw is exquisite.

   I wonder how the chest ended up discarded.
