Collection: November: The Collector

In November 2024, subscribers met the Collector.

The Museum of Recollections is housed in an imposing building on Pont Lacuna’s main square. Founded in the city’s heyday and designed by ambitious architects, its ornate façade was once covered in mosaics. Now, some of the glittering tiles are missing; and the lagoon sometimes laps at the building’s foundations. 
 
Its visitors have dwindled, but it seems that the Collector hasn’t noticed their absence.  She is focused on her own projects. Above all, she values small, personal moments. 
 
Hence, only a few of the museum’s exhibits are dedicated to historic battles, decrees, and changes in government. But gallery after gallery overflows with carefully tended letters, intimate tokens, and little curiosities gathered on walks.

The Collector lives in an attic apartment under the Museum’s sloping roof. Both her days and her evenings are occupied by sorting, rearranging, and dusting the displays. Many of the memories she cherishes are her own. 

The Collector Box includes an abundance of beautiful objects; hints and additions to expand the story; a mysterious document; and a lore card.
