The booklet accompanies the exhibition of the same name and presents all the objects from Kolumba's Musée sentimental on display there. The texts recount in a humorous, affectionate and precise manner the formative experiences, significant acquaintances and past places that have shaped the museum on its journey into the 21st century. The photographs bring the seemingly inconspicuous objects to life and stage them in the hands of the people who have shaped the museum in recent years. Typographically inspired by its ‘big brother,’ Le Musée sentimental de Cologne by Daniel Spoerri and Marie Louise von Plessen (Kölner Kunstverein, 1979), the booklet is a gem for all those who enjoy beautiful and finely crafted publications.
