Irma Boom has crafted a surprising collection from thousands of finds, arranging them in her own sequence of form, color, and texture. These are everyday objects that were commonplace to the city dwellers of the past, yet often mysterious or still recognizable to us today.

In doing so, she casts a personal glow on the objects that reflect the city's history, while giving each object space to tell its own unique story.
