The Museum of Habbo

Hey guys, I wanted to raise some awareness for an exciting project I've stumbled across recently, and wished I'd found sooner! Many of you may know it already, but for those who don't, here's a quick break-down:
'The Museum of Habbo' (which goes by the room standardisation of 'The MoH') is a collaborative project with numerous contributors (100+ through many group rooms) - that seeks to collect and archive all aspects of Habbo history in-game. There have been many notable furniture museums and collections in the past (namely: Sierk, Jibbi, Powzaa, Detroxx, KevinFunky) - but non I've ever seen come close to a collection quite like this one.
The project has had many notable contributors already who've seen many years and have some very unique badges/trophies/items/rooms to showcase, including Wise, Toby, Barry, XxVampgirlxX and Joe_Computer. The main room as you might expect has received a staff room like and kudos for its work. The chap behind it all, Attached AKA. MoHRooms - began building a museum after visiting Jibbi's in 2003.
Here's a sample collection of items that got my attention when I first trawled through its many rooms:

[Top to bottom, left to right: Impetuous (old Habbo UK staff, owner of impetuous.net) trophy, army plasto (rumoured to be less than 5 active), Hobba and classic public gaming badges, Frank trophy, complete Idea Agency badge set, Wise's Newsbox (tribute to Wender's old room)]
What makes this project so exciting is a multitude of reasons:
A) Its main room owner/project driver is active
B) The furni collections encompass old AND brand new ranges, using new features (new badge cases etc.)
C) Standardised room layouts, organised by theme
D) Multiple and increasing contributors
E) Extensive, widespread collections (furni ranges, trax, badges, pixel, pets, interactives, promotionals, supers, old rooms)
The collection is constantly growing, and through my own exploration of its rooms, has a few items to complete some already impressive range collections, here's a list of what is needed that I have spotted, the collection currently focuses more on released ranges, but will expand to include more rares (already has a great collection):
- Gold botanist watering can & plant trophies (also super trophies, bubblegum, twilight etc)
- Idea Agency Rug
- Yellow Rug (super version, and allsorts of ultras)
- Staff badge, and all manner of old/unique badges, complete sets or stand alone ones
- Recolour rares from the V7 era and after, including untradables (trax machines etc.)
- Easter 2013 Rares, including: All the ducks, all the penguins
If you're into Habbo history as I am - You should contribute and be part of this huge project, you can do so by..
- linking classic or relevant rooms
- exhibiting your furni in the grouprooms/collections
- spreading the word to Habbo's you know would like to be recognised as contributing to this wealth of Habbo history all in one place
Do you know someone with a truly unique piece of Habbo history that deserves to be admired and recorded? Please get them involved too!
(I've posted this topic with the knowledge of Attached, who's happy to be added on MoHRooms or Attached for contributions).
