Image Locale Forget The Museum of Natural History, The Metropolitan or The Smithsonian. The collection I want to wander in I call the Valhalla of Lost Things. The Venus de Milo’s arms are here, she’s grown quite attached to them. I circle Leonardo’s sixteen-foot-tall equestrian statue, never cast, browse all five-hundred-thousand volumes of The Alexandrian [...]
