It doesn't always have to be just stamps. Germany has some of the most unusual collections. The Museum of Saxon Folk Art would now like to show some of them.

Key rings, surprise egg figures, unusual stones: The Museum of Saxon Folk Art is looking for collectors who want to present their treasures in June. Adults and children with special collections can apply for the "And what do you collect?" campaign until May 3, according to the museum. The collections will be presented in the museum on June 13 and 14.

Curator Karsten Jahnke explained in the press release what the campaign is all about: "We are not only interested in the collections, but also in why people collect certain objects and what motivates them to keep adding new pieces." At the presentation in June, visitors are invited to talk to those who are showing their collections there. Further information on the application can be found on the museum's website.
