Time Capsule on display?
January 7, 2015 9:54 AM Subscribe
Before Thanksgiving, construction crews working on the Massachusetts State House discovered a time capsule placed there in 1795. It was opened last night at a press conference. Will the contents be on display?
What was discovered inside the time capsule can be seen here. It was opened at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. I'd like to know if the MFA will be displaying it. I can't seem to find any information about that on the MFA's website, though I did find some information about the press conference where the time capsule was opened. If the museum will be displaying it, I'd be interested in planning a trip up to Boston to take a look at this early American history.

I read something similar; they also mentioned adding a few items to the box before they re-bury it.

Bear in mind that much of the stuff (including the newspapers) is from 1855. Not that that makes it prosaic, but I'm just sayin'....
The silver platter with (Revere's?) fingerprints seems tres cool....
