Rainy History for Sleep: The Invention of Park Benches

Описание: Tonight, we continue the Incredibly Dull History series with a journey into the quietly fascinating tale of the park bench. From the first awkward planks in fields where city planners debated “pleasant intervals,” to the uniform green benches of Baron Haussmann’s Paris boulevards, to the cast iron settees of Central Park in 19th-century New York, benches slowly became a civic expectation — a place to rest, to watch, to meet, and occasionally to complain about. Along the way, we meet chestnut vendors, fashion mishaps, and Victorian euphemisms, as the humble bench takes its seat in history. A wonderfully uneventful story to help you drift into rest... 😴
