Help us create a worldwide network of Little Beach Museums

Do you have collections from your shoreline you’d like to share with a greater audience? Create your own museum and let us know where it is. We will assign you your own unique charter number and help spread the word about your collection.

Maybe your museum is a shelf in your driveway, a portable trailer attached to your bike, a room in your attic or a shed in your yard. Maybe your museum collection only contains plastic sandals or a multitude of buoys. We can’t determine how you display your collection, how big or small it is, or what found items it should house.

The only rules are:

  1. All items in the collection must be recovered from the shoreline in your community

  2. Every item in the museum must fall under the definition of “garbage” (as in it is not the property of another person)

Our first charter!
