Oh, The Things You’ll Find In Storage
The ROM Studio’s storage room or more frequently referred to simply as “storage” is a wonderland containing a multitude of things dating back to several decades ago. As a ROM staff or volunteer you’ve either ventured into the mysterious world of storage to retrieve a cart or to find one of the many things. Storage is another dimension and walking into it feels like being led into a completely different world detached from the one you’re in.
Some of the things you’ll find are as follows:
Envelope Wall
Far back in storage is a wall full of envelopes in boxes with witty lines on the front of the boxes like…
“Write yourself a letter or something….”
“What is white and paper-y, and something that we’ve been trying to get rid of for years? (hint: its envelopes)”
Misc Boxes
Many things can be found in the miscellaneous small blue boxes in storage. They contain everything from rocks, insects in protective casing, an old coke bottle, dolls and dust.
Bubble Wrap
Yes folks, there is a humongous roll of bubble wrap under a table in storage.
Costumes
Storage is the home to many different costumes. Whether you’d like to dress up as a dinosaur or a possum… we got it!
Bamboo
At the back of storage you will find an overwhelming amount of bamboo sticks… yes, you might actually think a panda lives in there.
Socks
Yes, we got it all! Storage has a box full of socks!
Felt
In storage you will find a box cleverly labeled “FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! EVERYBODY!” in memory of the LMFAO song “Shots.” Did I mention storage had felt?
Crocs
Storage obviously did not get the memo that crocs are a fashion crime. But oh well, we still got ‘em.
Polar Bear
Going into storage you will be transported into the Canadian Arctic. On the right wall of storage you will find a huge polar bear cut out hanging on the wall.
Dino Egg
Of course, how could we forget? Probably one of the most iconic things you will find in storage is the broken dino egg lying under a big black beanbag and some foam. Nevertheless, it is still there and will catch anyones eye.
If you are ever fortunate enough to venture into the vortex of storage, you should definitely check these things out. As mentioned previously, storage is a different world, so brace yourself!
