Mini Museum Out of the Vault - Second Edition ID #937 (LARGE - 26 Specimens) SOLD
Please Note: While public sales of the Second Edition ended several years ago, we have kept damaged, incomplete, or otherwise defective museums on hand in storage. After the complete sale of the Second Edition's initial and reserve stock we have still been asked by customers for any remaining museums.
Rather than keep these museums with authentic specimens in the vault, we have chosen to share them with the world at a discounted rate. Each of these museums will be listed individually with the limited edition number, description of anomalies, and photos.
As such, these museums are final sale, sold as is, and will not be elligble for returns, replacements, or exchanges.
Mini Museum Out of the Vault - Second Edition ID #937 (LARGE - 26 Specimens) SOLD
The Mini Museum is a portable collection of curiosities where every item is authentic, iconic, and labeled. It's been carefully designed to take you on a journey of learning and exploration. Each Mini Museum is a handcrafted, limited edition.
This Second Edition Museum (ID #937) is a complete collection. Our QA team notes there are several fibers in the acrylic, as you can see from the photos.
Like all Second Edition Mini Museums, this 26 Specimen Second Edition Mini Museum includes:
- Detailed, 140-page Companion Guide Book
- Custom Microfiber Pouch
- Display and Storage Box
- Certificate of Authenticity
- Individual numbering, embedded in the Mini Museum
Please Note: The Mini Museum is a handmade product and the production process lends itself to small variations. This particular museum was rejected from the original Kickstarter and public sale runs and is priced at a discount due to production errors. All Mini Museums are sold "as-is" and by purchasing a Mini Museum, you acknowledge that such variations can occur. Such variations highlight the artisanal nature of the project, as each Mini Museum is made by hand and absolutely unique. This item is not eligible for returns, replacements, or exchanges.
Beginning with a trip to the Asteroid Belt, the Second Edition collection spans billions of years of history!
"Intellectual curiosity is so insatiable that nothing will discourage it, but in most its edge is easily dulled and blunted. Bacon's saying that we must become as little children in order to enter the kingdom of science is at once a reminder of the open-minded and flexible wonder of childhood and of the ease with which this endowment is lost." ~ John Dewey, How We Think (1910)
