The Museum Of Everyday Items

The Museum Of Everyday Items (to be renamed The Museum Of Obsolete Objects in 2066) is a small collection of common yet otherwise unremarkable artefacts from contemporary Britain. All items were collected on June 23rd, 2016, at the moment of their use. They were kept in storage until the opening of the museum on June 23rd, 2026.

There are 36 objects in The Museum Of Everyday Items. Currently only available online, it awaits a permanent real world home.

[endar]

[dng]

yes

[blombluss]

This is lovely, Davuss! Congrats!

Also, there was an Easylife catalogue in our TV guide paper a week ago, and the catalogue inventory/photos haven't changed one bit in 10 years!

[dng]

excellent. you'd have thought amazon/temu would have killed them off by now

[vom]

hooray

[vom]

is The Vegetarian good? I've started trying to read all of the books on the Guardian's recent big list of the least shit novels and it's on there

(I am only allowing myself to buy them in charity shops because I enjoy a scavenger hunt)

[dng]

I quite liked it

[dng]

I quite liked all her books

[dng]

maybe because they're all really short

[vom]

excellent, I like it when books are short

[vom]

I've read The Left Hand of Darkness and The Great Gatsby so far and now I'm reading The God of Small Things

(I had already a few others in The Past but not very many at all)

The perfect book would be one word long

[dng]

I've not seen that list. Does it have house of hell or city of thieves as the best book ever

[dng]

Or maybe out of the pit if they're including factual books

[vom]

it's this one

Deathtrap Dungeon controversially tops the list

[CandyDarling]

I just want to say how delighted I am by this project and I hope you manage to set up an actual physical location for it one day

Also I've had to unsub from every single Patreon I'm on as I'm skint, so sorry about that David. I will resub to you when my finances are more stable

[dng]

No worries, and thank you for subscribing, obviously. Its very much appreciated.

There should be a free tier thing too I think if you want to keep following (although also there's n3ta fir that anyway)

The perfect book would be one word long

All words are lies, so the perfect book contains fewer lies than most.

[vom]

YES!

Here's an equally pointless thing: a complete diary of the day before I turned 40

(a sort of sequel to the one I kept here: https://accumulationofthings.com/time/2 ... -notebook/ )

[dng]

you don't have to read any of that obviously, as it is deeply boring

[An Unicorn]

The perfect book would be one word long

"BOOK."

[vom]

you don't have to read any of that obviously, as it is deeply boring

and yet oddly compelling

[vom]

happy belated 40th birthday

[dng]

Thank you
