From Hollywood celebrities to the guy next door, millions of people have made World of Warcraft a part of their lives. How do you play WoW? We’re giving each approach its own 15 Minutes of Fame.

Back in October, we profiled triple-threat collector Drrum’s coordinated armor, pet, and mount collections, meticulously assembled and screenshot in complementary in-game settings. Last week, we chatted with collector Moonjade of Twisting Nether (US-A), who focuses on items somehow linked to game lore. This week, we complete our trifecta of collectors with an interview with a player who’s assembled an actual in-game museum — yup, curator-led tours and all — of unusual gray items and assorted oddities. Now, we get crazy emails all the time here at WoW Insider about all sorts of weird things that’ve been found in game … but man, I’ve never even heard of some of this stuff!

Pestle, who’s also GM of Infinite Asylum on The Scryers (US-A), manages the massive, multi-bank collection via Riplington E. Winchester III, the museum’s intrepid gnomish curator character. The list of random items that she sent me is so long that there’s literally no reader-friendly way to display it here (let alone the fact that it would take days to slap Wowhead links on all of it); we’ll stream it for you in paragraph form just after the jump. For a visual idea of the scope of this massive collection, click through the gallery below before joining us to chat with its curator after the break.
