Inside the tiniest Walking Dead prop auction ever, coming to Kickstarter
Mini Museum, the collectibles company known for curating portable collections of rare historical and scientific objects, is launching its first major entertainment collaboration. The company has partnered with AMC to create The Walking Dead Mini Museum Handheld Collection, a new Kickstarter campaign featuring tiny authenticated fragments from props, costumes, and set pieces spanning the acclaimed 11-season zombie horror series.
Mini Museum gained prominence with its inaugural 2014 Kickstarter, which raised over $1.2 million by offering tiny artifacts from extraordinary historical sources—dinosaur fossils, Martian meteorites, and pieces of the Apollo 11 lunar module. That success spawned four additional successful crowdfunding campaigns and numerous spinoff projects, establishing the company as a leader in premium collectible curation.
The Walking Dead collaboration marks Mini Museum’s first venture into entertainment memorabilia, expanding beyond historical and scientific artifacts into popular culture. By partnering with AMC, the company will offer fans authenticated materials from one of television’s most iconic series, applying the same meticulous curation standards that defined their original concept to TV show artifacts.
This expansion demonstrates the viability of Mini Museum’s collection model with entertainment properties while offering The Walking Dead fans a tangible way to own authenticated pieces of the show’s history. The partnership continues Mini Museum’s successful track record with crowdfunded ventures.
