Many of us tinker with collecting at some point in our lives, whether it’s an obsession with baseball cards, ceramic penguins, or some other personal fascination. In Dallas, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science explores collecting in Eye of the Collector, an exhibition of wildly diverse personal troves—from Dallas Cowboys memorabilia to PEZ dispensers, and vintage bicycles to African American dolls. “It’s important to understand that collections are why museums exist in the first place. We wouldn’t be here without them,” says Colleen Walker, museum CEO. Through September 5, 2016.
