These are fascinating. I love the idea of Andy Warhol's seemingly random time capsules. They span a thirty-year period from the early 1960s to his death in 1987 and consists of 612 containers which contain every day bit and bobs from his life. Most of them are still unopened (I think that is what appeals to me most). However, you can see them opening one here:
