Mr. Pettigrew's museum was a conglomeration of objects collected in local archaeological excavations with his brother Fred\, objects collected on his travels around the world\, and objects traded with other collectors and researchers worldwide. Displaying intriguing pieces such as a walrus skin kayak\, prehistoric stone tools\, geological specimens\, historic guns\, and original photos\, the exhibit portrays an earlier type of museum\, one that showcased objects for their uniqueness rather than as interpretative tools used for educational purposes.
