Museum of Miniature Found Objects

On show in the Wild West Suite at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects is this inaugural display of items on display from the Museum of Sporting Impedimenta, Honolulu. In a radical break from curating tradition, Hedwig Peeve (Apprentice Curator, MMFO) and Bertie Vreiss (Curator, MSI, Honolulu) have used the Smythe-Pattinson cataloguing system. This revolutionary system organises collections around smell, using the table of scents drawn up by Dr Smythe-Pattinson in 1974. Peeve and Vreiss worked entirely with objects giving off the scent of the teeming labyrinth of Neapolitan back streets to create this striking installation.
