From May 26th to September 16th the Me Collectors Room Berlin will be showing the collection of Selim Varol.The 39-year-old collector has been collecting toys since childhood. Varol puts it like this "My collection, that's me. My childhood, my friends, my heroes, my role models, what I enjoy, what moves me - pictures from my journey. At home I'm a tourist." Selim has one of the largest collection of figures in Europe numbering over 15,000 pieces. Wowsa. He also has pieces of "Pop Surrealism" and pieces by Street Artists like Shepard Fairey.
