I just wanted to share this photo I took at an art gallery in Minneapolis, MN.
Anyway...
You might remember Riker Display Cases as something as scientist, museum, or a bug collector would use.
However, you don't need to be a scientist, a museum curator, or a bug collector! Just a regular collector will do!
Also, you don't have to stick with the grid pattern used by this artist.
Riker Display Cases come in a variety of sizes so you can have fun with hanging them any way you choose.
I know it is kind of tacky to be taking photos of art in a gallery, but I though this was such a wonderful idea and where I love how this artist displayed these "found" objects. I was more interested in displaying objects that I found.

Wouldn't it be awesome to have themes.
For example: Sporting event or concert ticket stubs and a photo of you with your friends that went with you. Add a couple of beer caps from a local microbrewery and you've got a fun night and a collectible memory!
Or better yet...
If any of you "Scrappers" or Scrapbooking fans are looking for something different to do with all your scrapping materials, just fill a Riker Display Cases with your favorite things and hang them on the wall!
I keep thinking this is something I would love to do. I have SOOOO many tiny things that I've collected and I hate the thought of glueing them down as I have seen in collage art or assemblage art.

I prefer the way the Riker Display Cases preserves the collectible.
I've seen some Riker Display Cases with the clips, but I prefer the old fashion pins that keep them together.
I also like how neatly items can be displayed. It make even a dead bug look like precious gem!
I hope this post has inspired you in some way. Perhaps you are not ready to dedicate a wall or a stairwell to to Riker Display Cases full of treasures, but you might want to start with three. Because everyone know, three is considered a collection!
