"The Museum's collection ranges from objects suitable for the dime museums of 19th century New York to common items found in closets and attics across the US. We have selected eight choice displays from our archive of several thousands of objects to evoke some of the themes crisscrossing the larger collection.
In addition to these eight objects, visitors to the Keebler House in Austin, Texas, wander through over one hundred displays, including a mounted jackalope head, a phrenology model, Joseph Cornell's paper bird, the Czech and Abject Collections, Coney Island memorabilia, and rivets from the first Ferris Wheel.
A veritable machine for manufacturing awe and wonder, the collection enchants experience with the promise of redeeming the everyday's invisibility through making the common exceptional, and vice versa."
