In 1890, a Swedish miner left a series of items, including his Levi’s® jeans, in a mine in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Found many years later, this “time capsule” reveals surprises about who he was and what his life was like. In this short workshop, create your own time capsule using items easily found at home. What do you want to tell your future self (or future generations!) about your life?
