The Library of Congress has unexpected items in its vast collections — the contents of Lincoln’s pockets when he was assassinated; cocaine used in a groundbreaking 19th-century surgery; a lock of Beethoven’s hair; 3,000 year old cuneiform tablets from modern-day Iraq; Mesoamerican incense burners that are more than 2,000 years old; and a piece of Tom Thumb’s wedding cake, now nearly 160 years old.
