I'm making this thread for the same reason I opened the American History one - there are too many events to post in one post. This one is only for events that happened in history on music, art, literature, etc, cultural events; I will do some events ins science too, but not spor events because this will result in too long posts, something I want to avoid. I'm going to use one and the same link http://www.historyorb.com/events/march/5 - http://www.historyorb.com/events/march/5 just skimming the cultural event - I want to save some time while posting, so instead of quoting the same link every day, I'll just say "ibid".
