Started by employees of the salvage store during a union drive, the Wingnut Museum — honoring both the tiny metal doodads and the “freaks and weirdos” of the world — now has a permanent Berkeley home.
Neko, who still works part-time at Urban Ore, began searching for a new home for the museum and talked to several spots in Oakland but preferred to keep it in Berkeley, where the collection was born.
