Hi everyone,

These videos that Dag shared are part of CHM’s permanent Revolution Exhibit, both the physical version and the online version.
So in this time of pandemic you can get some small fraction of the experience of going through the exhibit at CHM by watching these.
You won’t be able to see the physical artifacts, but at least you can enjoy these videos in the comfort of your home!

But besides these exhibit videos we also have many more videos in the collection, which you can search here:

We also have our YouTube channel:

Many but not all of the same Revolution exhibit videos are also on our YouTube channel in this playlist:
