About The Museum Of__

The Museum Of__ in La Jolla is a small Southern California museum dedicated to the study and exhibition of found objects, ephemera, collectibles, oddities, and vintage photographs that illuminate the human condition. Visitors explore an impermanent collection organized by category, including soap, vintage photographs, optics, wall art, religious objects, and other curiosities. The museum's displays feature items such as shell crucifixes, lenticular religious artwork, and vintage religious figures that reflect human experience across birth, growth, emotion, aspiration, conflict, and mortality. The collection emphasizes both exotic and ordinary objects that reveal how people live and what they value. The museum operates as a project combining artistic curation with cultural observation, housed within Quint Gallery. All visitors become members upon arrival, gaining access to this distinctive cabinet of human artifacts and ephemera.
