This is Foxglove. It’s a classy umbrella boutique in Hong Kong, that sells silver-handled English “brollies” but it has a big secret. Foxglove caters to the fantasy of being a British spy.

There is one umbrella’s silver handle that will open the door to the posh, luxury world of the gentleman spy. 

The dining room and bar look like a private jet. 

The hallway looks like a cruise ship. 

Then, there’s a room that looks like a high-speed train car.

There’s one other hidden entrance that can only be accessed by guests who know to place their hand on a floral painting at the end of a corridor until it glows. This signals the undercover bartender to open the door where a classic library awaits, a hidden sanctuary of leather club chairs, marble counters and books all around.

Pretty swanky, huh? 

Then, when you’re ready to go, take the elevator back down to the umbrella shop.

This is really quite a big deal. A tremendous amount of modern research ends up being sold to journals which require unreasonable payments to access it and only pay the original authors a pittance. It’s nice to see an agency like NASA deliberately widebanding its findings.

Not sure if people fully realize just how big of a deal this is. THIS is how science is advanced. Not through biased corporate research, business secrets, marketing, paywalls and patent wars. But through open, uncensored and unrestricted public access to knowledge.

This deserves every reblog.

In the face of institutions being silenced, this is doubly huge.
