10 Most Beautiful Things: Part 3, the Finale

Dan and Josh continue their “most beautiful man-made objects in history” series with a wide-ranging honorable-mentions episode. They open with Franz Ferdinand’s travel diaries, hunting, Teddy Roosevelt, Hemingway, Ian Fleming, and Salinger, then return to the beautiful-objects list to cover the great things that did not quite make the top ten. The conversation moves from the Sistine Chapel and Venice to Calder mobiles, cars, aircraft, cathedrals, telephones, firearms, locomotives, gemstones, and Art Deco—arguing throughout about whether beauty comes from proportion, engineering, movement, history, usefulness, or sheer visual power.If you have an interesting item you'd like to donate to the Museum of Everything, please reach out to us at [email protected] Chapel — 00:06:51Venice — 00:24:50Calder mobile — 00:28:07Jaguar E-Type — 00:34:31SR-71 — 00:37:42X-15 — 00:40:36Hamilton Standard Propeller — 00:48:13Wells cathedral — 00:55:40Chartres — 01:01:52Hagia Sophia — 01:02:15AE34 telephone — 01:03:25Fallingwater — 01:04:571911 pistol — 01:06:07Chevelle — 01:08:48Big Boy — 01:11:22Gemstones — 01:13:47Chrysler Building — 01:15:41#Podcast #MuseumOfEverything #BeautifulObjects #ArtHistory #Architecture #Design #Engineering #SistineChapel #Michelangelo #Venice #Calder #JaguarEType #SR71 #X15 #P51Mustang #Spitfire #GothicCathedrals #HagiaSophia #Fallingwater #JohnBrowning #Chevelle #UnionPacificBigBoy #ArtDeco #ChryslerBuilding #HistoryPodcast
