The Museum of Ordinary Things

An online museum for things too ordinary for a museum: a repaired radio, a handwritten recipe, a bus ticket kept for years. The story is the exhibit.

A small first version

A collection of twelve objects. Photograph each against a simple background and pair it with a short account from its owner. Browse by the things people do with them: keep, mend, carry, pass on.

The open question

When does an ordinary object become impossible to replace?
