Time capsule from 1873 found buried in wall of Manchester Jewish Museum

[FfFfFfFF 58,120]

Hidden deep within a cavity wall of the Manchester Jewish Museum, complete with its wax seal intact, lay a glass jar time capsule buried almost 150 years ago.

As builders renovated the oldest surviving synagogue in Manchester they found the capsule buried next to the Museum’s Ark, the chamber which houses the Torah scrolls, filled with synagogue papers, newspapers and some old coins.

Early synagogue minutes show records of the capsule being laid in the cornerstone of the original building around 1873.

Museum leaders now hope the discovery will help to tell the story of the museum’s former life as a synagogue, when it sat in what was once a thriving Jewish quarter with a congregation of Sephardic Jews, many originally from the Iberian peninsula.

Hopefully it's something a bit more creative this time, like Annihilation human fungus thingy - that would be interesting
