Collecting has always been about cherishing memories. Since it all feels like it quickly slips beneath our grasp, we tend to hold on to small trinkets and objects to help us feel better about the situation. We find comfort and relieve stress when we can find a personal attachment or meaning to that item and it’s from there on we decide to take it with us for better or worse.

What happens when that feeling of attachment turns into a total obsession? That’s what happens when 60 people share their unique collections that will have some of us either scratching our heads in confusion, or raving about loudly with admiration. These exhibitions are riddled with peculiar objects and intriguing reasons for their origin. If you dont’ believe us, catch this slideshow and see for yourself!
