I have seen a rock.
It was once part of Earth’s Moon.
The Naked Maja, the Clothed Maja, and the Family of the Infante Don Luis at a Goya exhibition at the National Gallery of Art.
The fall of Communism!
Chartres cathedral was the first thing that came to mind for me.
(original stained glass from the 12th c.)
I’m pretty sure this isn’t the case anymore.
USS Constitution
a fragment of the hull of USS Thresher - (kept behind lead glass)
Jacques Cousteau
Notre Dame Cathedral
Having been to the top of the three major NYC landmarks: The Empire State Building, the WTT, and the Statue of Liberty
The US graveyard at Normandy
Chartres Cathedral
I’ve seen many of what’s already mentioned, but as for something historical that is no longer around, that would be the Berlin Wall. I’ve always thought they should have kept it standing as a monument.
King Tut exhibit in Cairo museum, the Pyramids and the Sphinx
Acropolis in Athens
JFK’s funeral Parade in Washington DC
Eisenhower’s funeral train
Roberto Clemente’s 3000th hit
I personally waited on the entire 97 Stanley Cup RedWings (sans Goalies)
waited on Gretzky numerous time (several w/ Brett Hull)
My favorite…Jerry Garcia’s last seven concerts.
Do goalies not get to hang out with the rest of the guys?
Halley’s Comet, which was something of a disappointment. But there was another, Hayakutake, which was very impressive.
It appears the Apocalypse will arrive before the Cubs win the World Series.
I’m glad that I’ve personally seen:
Westminster Abbey
Tower of London
Cathedral of St. Stephen and the Matyas Church in Budapest
St. Vitus’ Cathedral & The Church of Our Lady of Victory in Prague
British Museum
Louvre
The Alamo
San Jacinto
USS Texas (BB-35, not SSN-775)
Tower of London
Launch of the first Shuttle mission (Dad let me stay home from 2nd grade to watch on TV)
Old mission control at the Johnson Space Center (really, the old JSC pre-Shuttle in general)
New Orleans pre Katrina
As a rule…no they do not…seriously. Goalies, are a bit ummm quirky … I did, at a later date get a chance to wait on Osgood and on a separate occasion Cujo.
Captain Bligh’s diary from The Bounty, including his notes about the day of the mutiny.
The Berlin Wall (and getting to bash it with a piece of pipe in 1990)
Auschwitz
A pair of evening shoes that a survivor was wearing on board The Titanic the evening it sank
A bottle melted by the bomb on Hiroshima
Uncle Ho, in Hanoi (well, not so much glad to see, but it was fascinating)
Sun Studios
Pompeii
The Arizona, Pearl Harbour
Tutenkhamen’s Tomb
There are so many things in this thread that I would like to see.
I’ll add:
A bit of Roman wall, plus the Tower of London that it was across the road from. That one impressed me.
London in general: the ancient city of my English ancestors. We found the house where my great-grandfather had lived before the First World War.
Helsinki.
Egyptian antiquities at the Royal Ontario Museum. Including King Tut’s mask one year.
The dinosaurs at the ROM.
The Museum of the Resistance in Copenhagen. I stumbled across this unexpectedly: I was just walking along and wondered, “What that shot-up old truck outside that building?” I went in. And when I saw the reconstruction of the concentration-camp fence inside, with its distinctive concrete posts, suddenly the Second World War was real to me. It wasn’t just something in historical footage on TVOntario. It really happened, right here in this city around me. I shivered.
Several things, but the one that comes immediately to mind is a Japanese Zero at an airshow last year. I told my kids to take a very close look, because they’d never see one again.
The Kathmandu Valley is a good one. It’s a virtual living museum. Walk around a corner, and there’s a 1500-year-old statue sticking up out of the sidewalk, with the locals using it to dry their clothes on!
I hadn’t even thought along those lines. I saw a Sopwith Camel at the Imperial War Memorial in London. And the German tank from WW1 at the Brisbane Museum. I think it is the only one still in existence.
And I saw the Rolling Stones play Dallas in 1981. Talk about relics!
I haven’t traveled much outside California, and this thread makes me wish I had. 
Here’s my list:
Santa Ines mission (but only the outside)
The old Spanish fort at the foot of the Golden Gate bridge.
Avila Adobe, the oldest house still standing in Olvera St.
An illuminated manuscript at the Huntington Library. I saw it with my one of my high school English classes. Since we weren’t allowed to handle the book, the docent let us pass around some parchment so we could see what it felt like to touch it.
The cathedral at Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, when I was 9. There was an actual relic of some saint, a young girl whose body had supposedly never decomposed after she died. My mom tried to get me to go see the body, but I wouldn’t go near it.
The rock star memorabilia at the Hard Rock Hotel, especially Buddy Holly’s suit and Jimi Hendrix’s vest made of peacock feathers. This last one was in a display case in an area of the casino. When I attempted to get close enough to take a photo, some guy who was sitting near it, not even within camera range, motioned toward me with one of the most contemptuous expressions I’ve ever seen on a man’s face and said, “You. Outta here.” I was too intimidated to do anything but comply, even though I had no idea who the hell he was, and had no desire to take a picture of his ugly face. :mad: I still get angry when I think about it, because I didn’t stand up for myself when I should’ve. At least I got to see Jimi’s vest up close for a moment.
The Titanic exhibit. The salvaged artifacts were incredibly poignant. And the room of shoes in the Holocost Museum in DC.
