There are more than 250 originals to be ogled, including: letters by Napoleon and Voltaire; calculations by Einstein on the Theory of Relativity; a Mozart score; and General Eisenhower's cease-fire command on May 7, 1945. 222 Boulevard Saint-Germain

I absolutely love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you develop this website yourself?
Please reply back as I'm attempting to create my own website and would love to learn where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called. Appreciate it!

Its like you read my mind! You appear to grasp a lot about this,
like you wrote the e book in it or something. I think
that you just can do with some p.c. to force the message house
a bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A fantastic read.
I'll definitely be back.

I don't know whether it's just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your website.
It seems like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen.
Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This might be a problem with my browser because I've had this happen before. Many thanks
