Einstein’s Office on the Day He Died, April 18th, 1955
At first glance, this looks like your typical – albeit slightly messy! – office. But then we learn who its occupant was and the poignancy of the scene is clear: this is Albert Einstein’s office on the day he died, April 18th, 1955.
Fittingly, there are equations scribbled on the board, while the chaos on his desk is befitting of a man who was notoriously messy. There’s a misconception that to do good work, one must keep a tidy workplace; Einstein proved otherwise! Now look at your own desk, is it just as messy? Congratulations, you’re in good company.
