Collections

Hanzlová's work is held in the following permanent collections:

gollark: You need to teach everyone everything, you need to know a lot of earlier stuff you probably *don't* about how your shiny new knowledge of electromagnetism and whatever were derived, and you need to make people actually able to use it, which is really hard.
gollark: You're constrained by manufacturing.
gollark: The future is like now, except Macron was developed.
gollark: I probably know more maths things™ than people from around then generally did, but not much of the history or motivation or how they did things without modern calculators and such.
gollark: Anyway, see, cyber, your knowledge of modern-day things are probably *not* amazing cutting-edge knowledge until maybe 1600, but then you can't do much because they lack the technology to do much.
