A museum-style timeline of world events — one day at a time, with a featured story, supporting developments, and related threads gathered into a single visual exhibit.
Start with the featured event, then move through supporting developments and related artifacts to understand how that day unfolded.
The center spine is the chronological path. Each plaque anchors a day, and each panel gathers the most important threads from that date.
Search, jump to a year or date, and move through events visually instead of reading a flat stream of headlines.
