Thanks for sharing that. I love personal collections. I've been thinking about my own... how it represents me to myself each day when I return home. And that its bits and pieces will need to be "de-accessioned" before I leave this earth. I wonder does any museum or archive ever build into its strategic plan its own obsolescence?

Have a look at Questlove's personal love story with collecting. He brings a passion to it that any museum person will recognize.
