Museo del Objeto del Objeto

Let’s say the wise elders got together, tasked with creating a museum perfectly suited to me: Museo del Objeto del Objeto in Mexico City might be what they come up with.

The museum asks, in its name and in its exhibitions, “what is the object of the object?” And it does so with pitch-perfect curation and design.
