01 / The collection
Elegant typography. Archival-style presentation. A very serious description of a very unserious moment.
The Side Quest Hotline / Fictional sample exhibit / No. 001
September 2024
Digital booking confirmation. Confidence. Geographic uncertainty.
Acquired during the artist’s “I found a cheaper airport” period. This work documents the moment six adults learned that Portland, Maine, and Portland, Oregon, are not interchangeable.
The Exhibition of Questionable Judgment
A fictional story, shown to illustrate our museum-curator style.
The gift is the recognition.
Not another photo mug. An artifact of the story that gets retold every time you meet, dressed up like it deserves a place in the Louvre.
Choose museum curator, archaeological discovery, or historic landmark. Same legendary mistake; a different kind of gravitas.
An optional “Submit an artifact to the collection” QR code invites friends to contribute another memory.
02 / The acquisition process
No polished prose required. Just the people, the moment, and the detail everyone still quotes.
Upload a photo or describe the harmless mishap. Only share stories and images you have permission to use.
Pick your storytelling style. We shape the title and description with AI-assisted drafting and human editing.
Review your personalized preview before it becomes your gift. Then let the recipient do the dramatic reading.
