New York (AFP) - It dates back to 1795, and has been dubbed the oldest time capsule in America. On Tuesday, a museum in Boston re-opened the relic, last seen over a century and a half ago.
The Museum of Fine Arts in the northeastern city opened the time capsule at a press conference at 6pm (2300 GMT).
It was originally placed under the State House cornerstone in 1795 by then governor Samuel Adams, one of the founding fathers of the United States, and American Revolution patriot Paul Revere.
