museum of un-beautiful things

 I came across these images a while ago in World of Interiors magazine and they've stuck with me ever since. Ettorre Guatelli is a guy who spent his life collecting Italian farm tools, and his home is a museum dedicated to his obsession. The way he's found an order for all of these objects is wonderful; on their own these tools probably wouldn't be much to look at, but he's organised and arranged them in a way that makes them collectively part of something that's really quite beautiful. He's also saved them from being thrown away and has preserved a part of farming history which he's obviously passionate about. Completely bonkers and brilliant.
