almost everyone collects something
at some period in his life: stamps, coins, matchboxes, books, records,
postcards, toys, watches. some collections have no real value. others become so
large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries.
many world-famous collections

often collect paintings, rare books, and other art objects. such private
collections are sometimes given to museums, libraries and public galleries so
that others might take pleasure in seeing them.
no matter what kind of hobby a
person has, he always has the opportunity of learning much from it. learning
new things can be the most exciting hobby.
