This chandelier is made of spoons, so it's called a "spoondelier." That's only appropriate as a light fixture at the Mississippi Spoon Gallery, a museum in Davenport, Iowa. The name makes sense when you realize it's right near the Mississippi River. Owner Cammie Pohl opened the museum to showcase her collection of more than 10,000 rare and historical spoons that began 35 years ago when her great-grandmother gave her a set of antique spoons. The collection has only grown since the museum opened, as people donate spoons and Pohl travels to collector's conventions to acquire more.
The museum boasts the world's largest collection of souvenir spoons from all over, including several World's Fairs. There are also commemorative spoons from events like coronations and political movements, and every spoon has a story behind it. The gallery also has a spoon club for collectors. It's a must-see if you are ever near Davenport, Iowa. -via Boing Boing
