Malnava Park is a noteworthy cultural and historical object, planted around 1830 - during the time of Count Shadurska. The Count himself loved nature and was interested in gardening, so he decided to plant the park behind the manor house. Since he was not Latvian, he was interested in exotic trees and shrubs. The park occupies an area of 18 ha (together with Ziedone - the second part of the park).

In particular, there were the beginnings of an attempt to understand the various individual components of architecture. The Primitive Hut is an a-historical point of reference that is not necessarily a historical object that is investigated through speculation or an archaeological investigation. The Primitive Hut was instead a self-evident realisation that created a new perspective of architectural inquiry. Architectural inquiry would be engaged to justify the validity of the primitive hut model.

Some objects from the Lower Castle were recovered after the fire because they had been covered by the roof shingles. However, the objects from the Middle and Upper Castle were not reconstructed until 1861. To find a use for the historical object, Ödön Zichy, the administrator of the property (as administrator of Veszprém County), organized a foundation which had the aim of founding a regional museum of Orava. The first exhibition took place at the Thurzo Palace in 1868.

The presence of fraudsters, commercial bootleggers, and other criminals in this area did not help. Finally, as a matter of historical preservation, the existence of a single copy of an historical object (whatever it may be) presents a significantly greater risk that the object will be destroyed, damaged or lost than if multiple copies of the object exist. Archivists, therefore, prefer to distribute copies of historical material as widely as possible, to reduce the risk that all copies are destroyed and the object be lost forever.

The origins and original purpose of the basin are not fully known, since the first record of the object was in a French church inventory. It was possibly used as a ritual washing bowl at the Mamluk court or it could have been commissioned by a Christian patron. The Baptistère de Saint Louis has a complicated visual program on the interior and exterior, depicting a number of different groups of people, a wide variety of animals, fish, plants, and Arabic inscriptions.

While museums like Mount Vernon and Colonial Williamsburg were visited by over one million tourists a year, more than fifty percent of historic house museums received less than 5,000 visitors per year. These museums are also unique in that the actual structure belongs to the museum collection as a historical object. While some historic home museums are fortunate to possess a collection containing many of the original furnishings once present in the home, many face the challenge of displaying a collection consistent with the historical structure. Some museums choose to collect pieces original to the period while not original to the house.

After the political upheaval in 2013, and the ambitions of the new Serbian government led by then Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, the preparation of the ground for the implementation of the modern Serbian-Arabic project the "Belgrade Waterfront" began. The private company Dunav Group Aggregates,, the legal successor of the privatized Belgrade Excavator Company (BBP), was given a deadline to remove the damaged "Concrete Ship". Due to the very high cost of returning it to seaworthiness, the decision was made to destroy it with mines and clear the coast of its remains. To preserve a valuable and authentic historical object, Skitrack International from Belgrade stepped in to undertake the risk and obligation to rescue the "Concrete Ship" from complete destruction.

Seleucus I's son and successor, Antiochus I Soter, sacrificed to Marduk several times during his time as crown prince. A late reference comes from the period of Parthian rule in Mesopotamia, with the Characenean ruler Hyspaosines attested as giving gifts "to Marduk" in 127 BC.'''''''''' There are no known sources that mention the New Year's Festival as a contemporary event from the time of the Seleucids and onwards''''' and one of the last times the tradition is known to have been celebrated is 188 BC. During the festival of 188 BC, Antiochus III, great-grandson of Antiochus I, prominently partook and was given various valuables, including a golden crown and the royal robe of Nebuchadnezzar II, by Babylon's high priest at the Esagila. The statue was a known historical object as late as the time of Parthian rule beyond Hyspaosines's time, from which a ritual text describes its role in the New Year's festival, including how the Enûma Eliš was recited in front of it and how the ancient kings of Babylon were supposed to be ritually slapped during the festival.
