Collectors Day 1983, Andy Blount.

This Saturday was our 39th year hosting Collectors Day here at the Museum, and as always, it was quite a big day! We had about 1,200 visitors in and around the Museum, talking to collectors and looking at collections.

From Beatles memorabilia to classic cars, Pokemon to armadillos, the variety was amazing. Some collectors have been showing off their treasures for years with us, but there were some fantastic new displays this year as well.

Back in the ’80s when we started inviting collectors to the museum, we had no idea how popular and how timeless this event would be.
