This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

It is an apartment in Paris that was abandoned before the second world war and never revisted. It was owned, and in the legal possession of Huguette Clark, a stupendously wealthy recluse and an heiress of William A. Clark, a guy who seemingly invented every trope of the Gilded Age government-corrupting hypercapitalist. Their stories are quite interesting in their own rights.

My wife is getting me into urban exploration and she's been splooshing about it for an hour, but deservedly so. It's almost pornographic.

Another article about the owner. The backstory is even more interesting than the apartment itself.

Shit.

There,s an old artists shop in Gosport which has been left as it was when the owner died 40 years ago. It still has paintings in the windows and everything.
