A traveling museum, wonderland, and nostalgia machine devoted to the diminutive, the misplaced, the unusual, and the forgotten
Completely self-contained in a 42-foot trailer, the Office of Collecting & Design is a sanctuary untethered from technology, an oasis of tactile exploration, a testament to the tangible, a manifestation of the multi-sensory experience of the analog world.
How to Visit
The traveling museum tours twice a year in the spring and the fall, winding our way from West to East across the contiguous lower 48 states. Find out where we are headed next!

You've never seen a museum like the Office of Collecting and Design (in Las Vegas or anywhere else)
— Geoff Carter, Las Vegas WeeklyA cinematic sensibility permeates the whole endeavor, not just the theatricality of the museum's interior design, but in the sense of drama and mystery contained within these seemingly random objects, collected according to some ineffable taxonomy.
— Scott Macaulay, Filmmaker MagazineThere's a palpable sense of history here, an intangible yet ever-present sensation of the strangely familiar, conjured by thousands of things with thousands of stories.
