Museum Cabinet Number 3

This is the museum Cabinet that I got at the Old Lancashire Fusiliers Regimental Museum, via e-bay. The museum consisted of a large room that was full of large glass fronted, floor to ceiling cabinets, all empty as the museum has been relocated. A empty room full of empty cabinets, all waiting to be picked up. My cabinet, Number 3, with a key with a pink tag was the last get auctioned off. Now it is in my studio space at Todmorden Community College, where I am completing a BA in art. For the last year I have been collecting things, mainly from the Thursday Flea market. Getting this cabinet was a very exciting moment in this process of collecting and it has inspired me to start this blog as a way that I can share the objects that I collect with other people. Also I can use this site to collect and post links to events, artists and books that connect with collecting and with things. I will gradually and in no particular order introduce different objects to the site and see how it grows. The cabinet has been hastily filled with some of the stuff that was piled on my desk, but its contents will be changing and I would like suggestions of what could go in it, suggestions of what to collect next, as well as any responses to the objects that I post on the site.
