An adorable curation of tiny things. Artist Jesdica Oreck did an amazing job with this space. Go to be inspired and amazed, a moody maximalists dream! They are open on Wednesdays to walk ins or other days of the week by appointment. The price for walk in Wednesdays is free with donation suggested. I would leave small children at home.

This experience is unmatched. The attention to detail allows an easy path to creating a unique memorable piece. Highly recommend if you’re the sentimental type. Highly recommended if you’re the creative type. Highly recommended if you want to consolidate a moment of time into a singular piece. Hoping to go back for the scavenger hunt. We did the inlay.

This was such a lovely respite after the overwhelming chaos of the strip. It warmed my little introverted, collector heart. I think it was my favorite part of the trip. My husband and I did the scavenger hunt, and even though the space is quite compact, we never ran out of things to discover for the full hour. I liked that we were the only two people allowed in the place during our time. And Jessica was a lovely, welcoming host. I would have spent the rest of the day in the reading room (see pictures) if we could have.

Would give this place more stars if I could. It is an utterly wonderful little museum away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. I booked to do the scavenger hunt and it was the best money I spent in Vegas. Amazing collections, a wonderful atmosphere and the most delightful host and curator, Jessica. I would seriously stay there all day if I could, in the reading room and admiring every single drawer and shelf. I even joined their treasures club where you get sent a mini treasure through the post each month, and watch their brilliant YouTube channel. Do yourself a favour when in Vegas and visit this absolute treasure of a place and get lost in the cuteness and the whimsy.

Wonderful. One of the most unique places you will ever visit. Housed within the walls of this quaint and cozy space, you will be treated to endless drawers, containers and shelves of “collections” that will transport you to fond memories and lost treasures of childhood nostalgia.It is hard to describe how feelings can be unlocked by simply opening a drawer of forgotten objects.Jessica, the museum’s creator is often on-hand to offer interesting stories and inform of the variety of events that happen with the collection.Highly recommended and call in advance before you plan a visit as the hours can vary.Check out their awesome Instagram too!

The flatlay experience was incredibly fun and satisfying! If you have a love for collections, aesthetics, and just ~things~ you'll feel at home!

If you have the opportunity to stop by, make it a priority! We did a scavenger hunt here ($30 for an hour) and it was the highlight of our trip. Jessica was awesome and was super open to chatting about her collection and the objects in it. We had an excellent time and can't wait for level 2! We're big on museums and this one was sort of like one, but you get to touch everything! Don't miss: the unusable dice collection, the draw of teddies and Teddys, and the camel mascot. I can't say enough good things about our visit!

Whimsical and intimate the Office of Collecting and Design is in many ways the antithesis of standard Las Vegas fare. You can take a quick tour, but it is worth a longer stay for the creative immersive activities. Jessica is a fantastic host, and the creative experience she curates is more about discovering one’s self (and others) in tiny beautiful moments rather than numbing one’s self with distractions.Our afternoon creating a flatlay at Office of Collecting and Design was the absolute highlight of our trip (and we were here for the opening weekend of the Sphere). Most of Vegas is built around overwhelming the senses with fantastical illusion while the Office of Collecting and Design is about finding connection in “the diminutive, the discarded, the misplaced, the broken, the obsolete.”It is a little off the beaten path, but totally worth the diversion. It is an oasis of introspection in a sea of oblivion and decadence. There is a great bakery and coffee shop next door, and you can spend an afternoon feeding your soul.Honestly, I can even figure out how to express how much I enjoyed this experience. If you don’t know where to spend your money in Las Vegas, skip the shows, skip the casinos, skip the fancy restaurants, visit the Office of Collecting and Design.

A delightful little museum of tiny things, and an incredible opportunity to bring home the most unique souvenir you can imagine by making your own flatlay. Don't miss it!

What an amazing experience! Jessica is a sweetheart who really enjoys sharing her collection - the way she has it displayed is a real art! She is so talented and will help make your own artwork using the objects that speak to you. Mine came out perfectly! Even if you don’t have time to make the flat lay, you need to see OCD (intentional or happy accident in naming? Not sure) if you are in Las Vegas and a person who enjoys art, antiques, fun things to do, etc. Really this is a place where everyone can enjoy.

I had a lovely time at OCD. If you love collections, miniatures, and interactive experiences, you'll love this uniquely wonderful collection of curios and everyday objects. Jessica was a fantastic host for our visit and was very kind and easy to talk to. We had a splendid time taking in the collections and making our own flat lays. I have been obsessed with miniatures since I was a kid so exploring her space and collecting items to make my own flat lay image was a dream. We highly recommend you come visit and support her lovely museum if you're in Vegas and looking for something unique and interesting to do. That being said, I do not recommend you bring children to OCD. The museum is almost exclusively filled with small, breakable, swallow-able, and largely irreplaceable objects. This is an experience fit for adults who are into the niche of oddity collections and who will respect the museum property!

So many things to see. Every inch of space is packed with something interesting and whimsical. You can tell that Jessica loves her collection and has an awesome story for each one. I'm so glad I stopped here on my recent trip. Thanks for sharing this collection with the world! Also... the reading room is super cozy if you need to rest your feet.Admission by donation.

My wife and I loved our experience at the Office of Collecting. We both made overlays – We could have spent the entire day there working on projects. Jessica was a great host and provided a fun afternoon.

This was the highlight of our Vegas trip. If you want to visit a spot that feels like it makes the world around it a better place, this is your stop.It's a totally different vibe than the strip or many other vegas visits; we loved it. If you are into Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Curation, Museums, History, Arts or about two dozen subjects with wild, wonky or highly debatable taxonomies (like, say, dice), you are going to love this.Jessica and her team (Caroline and Johnny) were responsive, warm and very well organized for us to visit, even on relatively short notice.I recommend booking a flatlay (to select and arrange items from the Museum, and get a beautiful photo) or general visit (with a ticket booked on their site), instead of being part of the rush of people on Wednesdays (free). There's just a huge pile of things to look at and explore. Keep some cash on hand for the gift shop, which has a really interesting collection of items available (great for the artist in your family!).I think this place would be awesome for wedding or family photos, boudoir photos, small events/parties - it's got a really cool side room that seems perfect for this.If you are looking for more info there are some great interviews/podcasts about this place, and Jessica has made a series of films and other projects in her life that are amazing as well.

My wife and I loved our experience at the Office of Collecting. We both made overlays - this is art you create from the vast number of items in the Office of Collecting. You take the small objects, arrange them on a black matt, and then leave with a high resolution digital image and a polaroid print of your art. We could have spent the entire day there working on projects. Jessica was a great host and provided a fun afternoon. You need to book in advance to create an overlay.
