Law

Today is my last goof off day before moving back to America from Shanghai, so today is Random Museum Day!  When I was living in Xintiandi, I’d always pass this weird museum when I’d take a taxi in to work.  Finally visited the Shanghai Museum of Public Security.

One floor was dedicated to the history of firefighting in the city.
Other floors had insane collections of weapons.  
Loved the filligree work on this piston.  And on these. Cane firearms?  So fucking awesome.
  Knives and swords and machetes?
Poison?  Are you kidding me?  Invisible chemicals to cheat at Mahjong???
  I also found this handy chart of country names!
