And so a chapter has ended, as the Museum of Miniature Found Objects closed its doors for the last time on Saturday afternoon. As Professor Tang Wen boarded his flight to Shanghai, he said, "We at the Shanghai Museum of the Inconsequential have pledged to care for and nurture the spirit of the Museum of Miniature Found Objects, and here in my holdall I'm delighted to be carrying the MMFO's very precious collection. The first chapter began on Beastly Way in 1759, and the next chapter will see it develop in Shanghai, into the twenty-first century and beyond!"
