About the Exhibition:
Seidel City proudly invites you to experience, The Office of Collecting and Design. The Office of Collecting & Design is part museum, part nostalgia machine, and part wonderland. It is devoted to the diminutive, the misplaced, the unusual, and the forgotten. Step inside our traveling 42-foot trailer, a carefully organized space filled with fragments of memory and meaning — objects displayed with meticulous attention for maximum satisfaction and delight.
In a world saturated with screens, the Office offers a rare analog sanctuary: tactile, immersive, and multisensory. Here, every drawer may be opened, every box examined, every detail discovered. Whether through quiet exploration, a guided challenge, or a creative session, each visit invites curiosity and reflection.
