Images of BergenThe City Gate of <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Bergen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bergen</a>, constructed in 1645, originally had mounds on each side as defence mechanisms around the city's only Southern entrance. <br> <br> In 1740 it got a moat, palisades, a drawbridge, and weapons. It was never used in battle, but was where tolls for goods taken into the city was paid, and all mail routes from Oslo and Stavanger were taken through.<br> <br> The soapstone building later became the first city archive, which – even though it was a bad choice due to moisture and rats – it was, in some capacity, from 1792 to 1971!<br> <br> Today, there is no traffic through the arch anymore, but it is a cherished landmark, and considered to be a pioneer in the "Bergen style" of buildings, used as a benchmark when trying to make something that seemed local. The largest newspaper in the city, Bergens Tidende, features the gate prominently in its logo.<br> <br> The plaque on the South side reads:<br> Hin geth die Zeit, [Away goes time,]<br> her komt der Todt.

#Museums play an important #role worldwide. Not only do they convey #knowledge/#insights to #visitors, but are also places where artistic, cultural, #historical, and #scientific #treasures are #preserved, serving even as subject of current/future research. G.Frackler (2024) finds that #sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the "#selfimage of museums as #social/#societal actors".
