The City Reliquary Museum

This guide to The City Reliquary Museum in Williamsburg starts in 2002, when a man named Dave Herman turned his ground-floor apartment windows into a homemade street-level gallery of city artifacts, complete with a button that played his own recorded voice as a tour guide. You'll hear how neighbors began leaving their own donations at the window, and how the collection outgrew Herman's living room and moved into a real museum a few years later. It closes with a look at what fills the shelves today.
