Tiny Museum — The Lost Socks of Europe (Shelf Gallery Printable)

Launch price $9 (regular $14)

Every home has lost a sock. Finally, they get the exhibition they deserve.

The Lost Socks of Europe is a tiny, self-standing museum room you print at home. Six original oil-portrait-style paintings of unpaired socks — from the Argyle Widow of Delft to the Duchess of the Tumble Dryer — each with a gloriously serious curator plaque, artist, date, medium and accession number.

Frames, plinths and a rope barrier fold and lock together with no glue and stand up on any shelf, desk or mantel. Add an admission ticket at the entrance, put a mug (or the cat) next to it for scale, and take the photo.

Original art — not public-domain clip art. Made for desk décor, a funny gift, a laundry-room joke, or anyone who has ever said "where's the other one?"
