My long-term hobby is building a home museum with a tri-fold emphasis on natural history, the history of mankind, and pop culture. I try to avoid the obvious artifacts and look for specific and obscure objects that highlight thought-provoking moments in life & history.

A few examples: Fulgurite, Manhattan project glass, Japanese Pesos, Nazi-Occupied Polish stamps, 1996 Olympic medal, bone records, DEA task force patches.

Also plenty of fossils, meteorites, international currency, memorabilia, etc. Inspired by a childhood spent exploring museums and, in recent years, Mini Museum on Kickstarter.

Edit: (Also many other less cool hobbies with tech & art)
