Brilliant by itself, but in particular for a rainy day. Amazing how this Eise, son of a farmer, could build this in the 18th century. Bonus: Franeker is a nice city too.

In the living room of a lovely Friesian canalside house is the world's oldest functioning planetarium. This accurately moving model of the solar system was built between 1774 and 1781 by Eise Eisinga, a wool carder.
