2 years in the past, on considered one of my many drives between Florida and Manitoba to maneuver my Father’s car to and from his winter and summer season houses, my spouse and I finished in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. As is our behavior, we like to seek out hidden, lesser-known locations and areas to discover. My spouse got here throughout the Hattiesburg Pocket Museum. With out realizing precisely what it was, we arrived on a Sunday and struggled to seek out the precise location. That’s as a result of it’s in a again alley. This museum is a collection of tiny toys and figures positioned rigorously on the varied objects and infrastructure of this again alley. You’ll discover these strategically positioned in cracks and crevices, on steel packing containers and benches. Every time you discover one you shout “Oh look” or “Come see this one”. It’s a real shock and delight state of affairs.
This previous week we returned to see some new shows and as soon as once more have been delighted and loved this little detour.
Desirous about this made me take into consideration how easy this concept is. It’s one thing that may very well be completed virtually anyplace. We love discovering little treasures and parts of magnificence that occur just because somebody thought it could be good. I hope the creators of this museum notice how a lot pleasure and delight it brings to guests. I feel it’s a reminder that creating small moments of pleasure could be missed by some however for individuals who are paying consideration and in search of out these easy however sensible acts of creativity, it’s one thing very memorable.
