Time Capsule Treasures

The Andy Warhol Museum's Time Capsules project is getting exciting.

One day we found a mummified foot.
Another day we found original pre-Pop Warhol drawings from the 50's.
Yesterday we found Andy's personal diary from trips to Paris and Rome.

What will we find tomorrow? Honestly? We don't know! But we want to.

We want to continue this work. We want to continue revealing hidden treasures and showing them to you. And we need your help.

You, together with other Warhol fans from around the world, can make sure this important project continues. You plus 49 other people at $100 opens a Time Capsule. You plus 9 other people at $500 opens a Time Capsule.

To open each Time Capsule costs about $5,000, total. This includes the documentation, archival processing and cataloging, scanning every object (and digital photography of large objects) and properly re-housing them in acid-free folders and Mylar sleeves. Once the cataloging is complete, we'll be able to to begin researching what we've found and, eventually, put the entire Time Capsules collection on the web, so everyone can access it.

Together, we can take the "maybe" out of this project, because we won't be relying solely on foundations to support the work. This project can be completely funded by the people who will get the most out of it... people who care about Andy Warhol and his legacy. People who care about preserving original artifacts from the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. People who are just glad something this weird is being taken on by a major museum.

Please join me today in making a gift to support this project. Together, we can continue to tell this story.

This is really cool! It's intresting seeing and realizing how many neat and cool things you can find in a time capsule!

(PS Im the 5000th View!)

i would have though this project is self funding, parts of the finds in the time capsules can be taken to auction and will raise high prices from Warhol fans. why are youtubers being asked for money for something thats likely to turn into a commercial enterprise at some point.

it only costs 5000 if u put a dollar value on your time. then your doing it for money not because you enjoy doing it. the only cost of materials you mentioned is acid free folders and mylar sleeves. sure that does not cost 5k for one box, now does it.

I love this video! Rocking out while watching them dig through all the trinkets Andy Warhol left in his Time Capsules is amazing. I hope everyone who watches this donates to the project. I just did!

I think this video is awesome. Rocking out to the catchy tune and watching all the crazy stuff that Andy left in his time capsule is great. I wish I could afford to be there in person!
