Curiosities from the Museum: Mr. Nibbles – 07/31/2024
Over the years at the Wenatchee Valley Museum, there have been some odd and strange things that have been donated to the collection. While currently there is a screening process and procedures in place for donating items, this wasn’t always the case. We occasionally find oddities lying around from years gone by with little or no explanations.
In relation to last month’s edition of The Comet, in the Weird Trivia section by Christopher F. Hart, there was a question about a mother and an ironically named hamster called Mr. Nibbles. Staff here at the museum then thought it perfect to showcase our own pet whom we also call Mr. Nibbles! He is everyone’s favorite lunch buddy as he sits perched above the dining table in our staff kitchen making sure none of his hamster buddies are harmed.
