a time capsule
something that preserves a past period
A time capsule is something that keeps the memories, objects, or details of a particular period for people to see later.
Hear it in real life
Why do you keep that old school diary?
It's a time capsule of my teenage years.
My grandmother's kitchen is like a time capsule from the 1970s.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: My grandmother’s kitchen is a time capsule since the 1970s.
Say: My grandmother’s kitchen is a time capsule from the 1970s.
Use “from” to identify the period preserved by a time capsule.
