Small objects often carry the biggest emotional weight.

4-step artifact method

  1. Material
  2. Wear pattern
  3. Function
  4. Consequence of failure

Example: field map clues

Clue Possible meaning
Deep fold lines Repeated urgent consultation
Pencil overlays Real-time adaptation
Water damage Exposure in severe conditions

Read the edges, not just the label center.

The museum's force lies in this paradox: tiny objects, enormous stakes.
