The strangest private collections. The origins of our museums: Russian private collections Rare historical photos from private collections 2

Exhibitions of private collections always cause interest in me. At least because there are few such exhibitions. This collection focuses on conceptual art and overlooks a changing person of portrait from the beginning of the last century to the present day through photos, drawings, sculpture, video installations and paintings of leading international and Israeli artists.

The collection of Igal Ahuvi consists of more than 1500 works, and is the largest in Israel. The fifth series of exhibitions presents the works of Diana Arbuse, Andy Warhol, Marlene Duma, Richard Prince, Amadeo Modigliani, Frank Aurbach and many others.

All works are delivered not only aesthetic pleasure, but also inspire. For example, seeing a photo of Music Ingmara Bergman Liv Ulman, I immediately wanted to revise the film with her participation "person", because it is impossible to adversely.

It is worth noting that the venice visit not only people of art, but also local representatives of secular society, which is rare for such events. Among the guests it was possible to meet the producer of the Motion of the Rife, model Galit Gutman, as well as Anna Cushchen and Mikhal Anki.

Now lovers of tiny furniture have the right to see the accumulated museum accumulated in the Created Collection, in the city of Stone Mountain (Georgia), paying 5 dollars per ticket. The museum works in a specially renovated old-fashioned house with three exhibition halls.

George France is Indiana Jones on the part of an ancient shit, in his possession stay 1277 samples of so-called coprolytes, valuable for paleontologists of natural history items that have not smell like a long time. In the summer of 2016, a collection of 37-year-old Francesaea landed into the Guinness book, after which it was handed over to the South Florida Museum for the thematic exhibition, which is worth a visit - that the exposition will last until October.

Guests of the museum can admire petrified pooping from 8 countries of the Earth and 15 states of America. Of particular value is the national heritage - a two-kilogram excrement of a prehistoric crocodile, jokingly called "our beauty" (remember Hollum). Crocodile uncleanness at least 6 million years, found this jewel in South Carolina.

Collection of hotel requests

One of the widespread habitat characters in the hotel is the "Do not disturb" sign ("Do Not Disturb"), which the guests striking to privacy hang on the door door. Tourists such signs are familiar well, than not souvenir? However, travelers prefer to bring the long-night countries to bring the ravis T-shirts with pictures, key chains or fridge magnets. But there are happy exceptions, among which is a citizen of Germany Rainer Wehrt.

Hero of the Guinness Book of Records, Herr Wihert goes a lot in the light and adores the mentioned signs of "Do Not Disturb" from the places overnight stays. The hobby started in 1990, and in 2014 there were no less than 11,570 plates from 188 countries brought from hotels and aircraft in the Rinner collection, as well as passenger ships.

Collection of Chesch for Back

Manfred S. Rottene works by a dermatologist, he has his own clinic in North Carolina. Patients who come to a reception to Dr. Rottene with a pimple or scabies are free to overlook the most rich collection of garliches for the skin of the back, assembled by the Eskulap in 40 years of practice. Patients like it, even very.

In 2008, the Guinness Book of Records noted that 675 samples of various, comfortable and not very, ridiculous and serious peoples made in 71 countries of the world are carefully contained in the dermatologist's collections. These pieces are decorated with the corridors of the doctor of Dr. Manfred Rottein, her offices and viewing rooms. The selection includes a blanca made from the crocodile paw, and its cowboy "colleague" from the paved manually buffalo ribs. There are three electrical models dating back to the 1920s and a specific thing under the trade name "Chestel for bearish ass." Once the doctor collected various medical antiquities - old drugs and creams, wonderful dishes and containers, but the love of chellices became a hobby for life, and grateful patients send Rottene exhibits from various parts of the Earth - from Japan to Ireland, from Russia to Palau. At the same time, the Medic himself does not like to scratch his back and considers his passion for "professional".

Collection of road cones

With the help of 500 road cones can be arranged for another Bardak. Fortunately, in the resident of England David Morgan there is no such vile plans - it just collects these cones. The obsession with plastic columns originated when Morgan worked at Oxford Plastic Systems, which manufactures road cones in huge quantities - most of all in the world. In 1986, the competing company stated that people in Oxford stole the design of the cone from her. To prove that this design idea is not new and for competitors, David is a rare boring - it was looking for a search for identical cones on the roads of the country and ... fell in love with their diversity, at the same time winning the court. Collecting road cones has become hobbies for life. It should be noted that not a single column from his collection Mr. Morgan stole, only because these items are designed to ensure security. Now hundreds of such subjects are surprisingly decorated with a garden of a 74-year original.
