I am a life long collector and creator and curator of Michael's Museum: A Curious Collection of Tiny Treasures which has been a permanent exhibit at Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier since May 2011. If you are interested I can send a few photos and a write up if you want to publish it in your "Atlas Obscura." Looking forward to following your site.
