It seems many of you may be interested in knowing that there's a giant Brünnhilde on display right now in the Library's "Not An Ostrich" photography exhibition: flickr.com/photos/library-of…
Plan your visit: loc.gov/visit
One of the most beloved free-to-use photos in the Library's collection is of Brünnhilde, for obvious reasons. We're happy to report that 2023 comes with a freshly digitized photograph of Brünnhilde from another angle. 😻

Thank you @OPLIN - all of these arrowheads and flint points were scanned by ME when I worked at the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus. It was a privilege to actually see these artifacts up close - I suggest everyone visit any of the @OhioHistory museums and sites this summer
