Ship's chest, Musee d'histoire de Nantes, Nantes, France
Ship's chest used in the captain's apartments for documents and precious objects, with a secret hidden keyhole, late 18th century, from the Musee des Salorges fund, in the Musee d'histoire de Nantes, in the Chateau des ducs de Bretagne, in Nantes, Pays de la Loire, France. The castle was originally built in 1207 and rebuilt 1466, and was the residence of the Dukes of Brittany until the 16th century, when it became a royal palace. The museum opened in 2007 and covers the history of Nantes, focusing on slavery, world wars, industrialisation and the chateau. Picture by Manuel Cohen
