In From The Cold...

The Wende Museum in Los Angeles has over 60,000 artifacts from Cold War era Eastern Europe, including: paintings, sculpture, posters, and furniture. By preserving these Cold War artifacts and history the museum provides a way of 'applying historical lessons of the past to the present'.

Type Preserver...

Since 2005 the German Museum of Letters has been rescuing and preserving forgotten typographic signage.

Pulp Passion...

I recently came across this project by artist Richard Prince ( known for his paperback based 'nurse paintings') for the show, "Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation" at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. In a more colorful variation of a Christo work he wrapped the museum's exterior with enlarged 'After Dark' paperback covers.
