From 2010 to 2015, the artist Brent Birnbaum visited art museums around the world and collected an unusual set of souvenirs—locker keys, coat check claim tags and tokens. In exchange, he left behind jackets, bags, newspapers and other items, essentially leaving his own objects in the collection of the museums. This project is the focus of Pentagram Papers 47: Museum Collection.
The items are also pictured on a poster folded into the back of the Paper, with a world map of all the museums visited on the reverse
"Pentagram is the world’s most acclaimed creative collective, where 23 partners work independently and collaboratively to shape the future of design.
