You know The Smithsonian, The Met, and The Getty, but how about The Miniature Engineering Craftsmanship Museum, The Museum of Mustard, and The Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal History? We took a virtual journey across the US to discover and highlight the stories, objects, and history held by these and other smaller museums.
Connecting with these museums underscored for us how valuable these collections are to our understanding of the world and how much information is right out your/our back door. For instance, do you know why The Museum of Making Music would have an electric kettle and heater in its collection? And, did you know that the USS Midway Museum in San Diego has a piece of the USS Arizona that sunk at Pearl Harbor? There is value in every object and story, they just need someone to tell it. Thankfully, these museums still do, and we at Artifcts endeavor to as well.

We hope you enjoy these collections as much as we do, and we invite you to explore these museums with us, either virtually or in person. View the collection here on Artifcts.com.
