The Museum
of Said Things
Medium — language, suspended in dust
Admission free · nothing is recorded
Museums are built for objects that survive. This one is built for the things that don't: sentences, which land once and then live only in the person they landed on. Every exhibit here is a sentence somebody actually said, held still long enough to be looked at.
The emblem assembling beside you is the case mark of the collection. It is made of the same dust as every other exhibit, because it is the same material: something said, taking a shape you can finally point at.

Every label
was written here.
Nothing on the walls of this museum was decided in advance. Each exhibit's label is produced when the page loads, by running the sentence through the same engine that runs the Decoder — the one with — documented classes and — signatures behind it. If the engine finds nothing, the label says so. A museum that only hangs the sentences it already has a verdict for is not a museum, it is an argument.
The analysis runs on your device. No sentence you bring here, and no record of your visit, leaves the machine you are reading this on.
