Extraordinary Finds!
This will inspire you to go through your attics
and basements - maybe you have a treasure?
The Antiques Roadshow is a favorite of PBS viewers, and what's not to like? Watch people's lives change over items they've had in their houses for years, with no idea of their value - both culturally and monetary.

Are you a car fan? Enjoy the ingenuity and sculptural designs of these amazing Alfa Romeos, designed by Franco Scaglione.

Everything Feels Surreal
"It's obvious that other worlds exist, that's certain; but, as I've already said in many other occasions, these other worlds are inside ours, they reside on earth and are precisely at the centre of the dome of the Dalí Museum, which contains the new, unsuspected and hallucinatory world of Surrealism." - Salvador Dali

The Dalí Theatre-Museum in Catalonia, Spain, was built to showcase the surreal and wonderful work of the artist Salvador Dali. Since traveling is still dicey, enjoy this 3-D tour of the space. Click here for the tour, and click here for more information on the museum.
A Snoring Hummingbird
From the BBC comes Super Cute Animals. The title perfectly suits these short videos. The snoring hummingbird is absolutely adorable.
