Played two of the new rooms in the new facility in centrum. The Holy Grail and Alice in Wonderland. The Holy Grail was a real challenge with so nice interiors and really nice theme and riddles. Alice in Wonderland really feels like an adventure and you really loose track of time. You feel like you are in the Wonderland, totally my favorite room of all I have played. Quality of both of the rooms really really great!

During a trip in Sweden between May 15- May 20, 2019, we visited Uppsala, especially for its Gustavianum Museum. Gustavianum is the former main building of the Uppsala University, built between 1622 and 1625. The museum exhibits a lot of physics and astronomy devices acquired by the Uppsala University across its history or donated by different collectors. Under its cupola is the Theatrum Anatomicum, an steep amphitheater consisting in concentric regular octagonal (with 8 sides) polygons, where medical students watched the human dissection on a central table. This is one of the oldest preserved anatomical theater in the world. It's so impressive to see old lecture notes of students from the early years of Uppsala University, that are not so different from lectures notes by nowadays students. There are exposed the lecture notes of the first known student (in theology and philosophy) from around 1477, the lecture notes of a medical student from 1550, as well lecture notes in physics (1650). We spent more time to see the exhibits concerning physics, astronomy and medicine at Uppsala University, and less for antiquities, excavated by the university archaeologists or donated by others. It was really instructive to see how old is the passion for the science in this small city.

For those who love plants, flowers and history, this is the place. We loved it! The garden is not huge, but it is lovely indeed. And the exhibition in the old house of Linnaeus is great as well.
