Thank you all so much.

It’s inspiring how this man lives so unrestrained. Just contacts Boeing or the government to dispose of some rat poison barrels. Goes down a rabbit hole trying to contact the kid from the message in the bottle. All while getting broken ribs and sprained ankles just exploring and shrugs it off like it’s something small. Thanks to everyone involved for sharing. For a second, I’m reminded just how much agency we have in making the world what we want it to be.

Love this comment. It's absolutely true. He's made himself so much happiness from what everyone else would discard, creating compelling art and stories out of a constant never ending source that would be otherwise considered a nuisance. Absolutely the coolest guy to ever abide.

I stopped in there years ago and met John. I took a lot of photos and it was probably my most memorable stop on our 28 day back roads tour, from Michigan to Washington. I was really taken by the Ronkon motorcyle he found. And he told me about the time his buddy picked up a huge buoy on the beach with a helicopter and delivered it to his house. The helicopter blew his wife's fresh washed clothes off the clothesline and John was in trouble! Wonderful man to talk to!

This man is an artist at heart. Thank goodness he retired with a building big enough to pull it all off.

I love him whistling under his breath, happy as a clam

The whistling is everything!

This is what KZread is for.. what a beautiful humble man.

I live in Olympia, and have been combing the western beaches of our state for years. Found some cool stuff, found some lame stuff. When the tsunami hit Japan, 3 or 4 sections of a large dock with Japanese lettering washed up overnight making an attraction of itself as nobody had seen something so large come from the sea to our beaches in this lifetime.

John Anderson is a poet, and he's connected to the world in his own way.

Not commenting quite often on videos, but John's Museum was one of the highlights on our RV trip along the pacific nothwest last year. Such an amazing place with more than kind people. Still rememeber my son chatting with John's wife while my wife and I enjoyed the treasures and stories behind. Keep on beachcombing. Greetings from Germany.

Watching this on a day where the world seems to be going wrong in every which way. Gave me some peace. Thanks.

Every once and a while you'll get recommended a little film on KZread that readjusts the way you look at the world. The filming, editing, and John's story all came together so well, thanks for putting it on KZread.

That McQuades Marine hat is pre-1978. The store was in Victoria B.C. but it burnt down in '78, never to re-open. There used to be an annual McQuades sailing race with a half melted bronze cleat as the first place trophy.

I wish that all media was like this: simply humble people doing what they like to do.

Love what you're doing, was a sailor back in the 1960s glass age before plastics took over, remember when everything was dumped off the fantail and NYC used to haul their trash out to sea on barges and dump it. What a mess we've made of the oceans with all our our plastics... Best wishes.

Your museum is so awesome, John! I used to beachcomb years ago. Can't walk like that anymore. You must have really trekked a lot of miles. Your channel is so interesting!

Such a lovely collection of beach treasures….. I myself have been a longtime beachcomber…. ! I’m in awwww 😮 I call it gifts from Neptune! Yet as you said, it was someone’s something trash to treasure or great loss. Thank you for collecting all these beautiful things the ocean took than gave you too cherish! A Mermaids treasure!

I honestly don't mean to sound rude or argumentative, but any human manufactured beachcombed material is pretty far from my idea of treasure. The fact this guy is tidying up the beaches & his subsequent artworks are amazing, but the materials he is working with are strictly poison & death to marine life. I would guess 80% of that museum material has only ended up in the oceans due to humans laziness & ignorance - all the materials still in the ocean yet to wash up are in no way whatsoever having a positive effect on the ocean. They will be trapping & injuring sea creatures, they will be dissolving into micro plastics & being eaten, and they will be leaching a whole toxic spectrum of industrial dyes, heavy metals & petrochemicals into the sea. To me, the fact this man can so skillfully curate such an intricate museum really just shows what a mess we've made of the seas.

So strongly that at times I get chills. A blue batter bowl that knows how to make blackberry cobbler. A peely mirror that makes me weep. A pair of silk and tiny pink shoes. Yes the energy fairly vibrates.

What a story. Goes to show how unorthodox purpose can be in life yet still entirely meaningful.

Great collection! Youre really doing a hell of a job by cleaning up the beaches but also showing off what you found in a museum :) keeping you fit and walking too. Amazing!

Something similar to what was said in the video happened in the Netherlands. Above the wadden islands in the north a big containership lost several containers containing a bunch of shoes. The shoes where collected and sorted by size. All who wanted a pair could collect them. It is said all the islanders still walk around on the found shoes.

I came across this museum on Google Maps as I scouted out the coastline on the Olympic Peninsula years ago! So cool to learn the story behind it!

Matt McCusker, I know whenever you find this guy you’re gonna love it.

John Anderson you are an inspiration.

We are kindred spirits sir. It's ok to pick stuff up. Happy searching.

We came over a dune and there was the beach with so many floats on it that this guy had collected all morning. He didnt give us one! You sure have been bust collecting all that neat stuff, what fun!

The camera you use is really a good choice, and I simply can’t put my finger on why.

Please continue to make more content like this. The world needs more art produced in this style, it’s an important contrast to the emotionally charged and attention hijacking work that’s increasingly more commonly found today. For this kind of work, Patreon seems to make a lot of sense in my opinion, where contributors shouldn’t think of it as charity but rather funding and allowing the creation of more projects like these.
