The Met | Paper | Immaterial | Season 1, Episode 4 #podcast @metmuseum | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Valentines, comic books, cigarette cards and more—all of these objects can be meaningful, but what does it mean to house them in a museum? Paper holds our memories, our stories, our fears, and our desires. How do conservators race against time to make them last? Enter the world of handheld ephemera, where keeping these objects in our hands or in our pockets keeps them close to our hearts.
