The Museum of You

Anna Gregoline | October 11, 2004
If you were to set up a personal museum of the most significant objects you own, what would you include and why?

SLR? A camera, or something else?

I've got an SLR camera, but I wasn't sure if it was that or some anime abbreviation.

Well, I had my SLR stolen when we were robbed this spring, but I bought the exact same one again! It's an old model, a Pentax SLR-1 I think, it's the most basic thing. I can't afford to get new lenses for it, but it's pretty clunky and I just like the feel.

I doubt I'll have any money at all for leisure activities but someday I hope to have a bunch of lenses and a proper darkroom in my home. Photography is a great love of mine, but unfortunately, it's so expensive! Sigh, maybe someday.


Significant objects: a lot of my most prized possessions are bizarre tiny things of no real value. I have the piece of paper that my boyfriend wrote his phone number on when we first met. I have a million old notebooks with writing in them that accentuate the time I was living when I wrote in them. I have tons of photos that I would be loathe to lose. I'm sure there's more but I'm drawing a blank.

I'd just have myself and my friends stuffed, with identifying bronze plaques.

The word plushies creeps me out.

Yeah, it is. I'm so terrified of that scene!

I don't have many old physical objects of mine due to having moved so many times in the past decade, but I do still have virtually every web page I ever created, with all of its content intact. I figure, if you can't be perfect in an infinite arena, you may as well keep a perfect collection in a finite arena. I keep finding ways to use that old stuff, here and there.

Taxidermy, of course. Maybe there could even be little pull-and-speak strings or something.

Wow, you must really be a great sewer! Good job!
