A petrol museum...What a Gas!!!
Love the idea of this museum Ake. And best of all you had the collector turn up for your private tour. There is nothing better than the collector sharing his or her obsession and carrying one along with his or her vibe. So much more interesting than just turning up and looking. Reminds me of the Shell cards my Dad used to get me as a kid, and ones we immersed in country towns last year (war, fish & weird collectables). And also the 'surprise collection' blog I haven't got around to finishing. Ah the quirks of the obsessive collector...even better when it leads to their private museums...the World would be a duller place without them!
