Andy Warhol was one strange guy. Brilliant, but strange.

Three decades ago, the famous pop art innovator consigned 300,000 of his everyday possessions to sealed cardboard boxes, and now the boxes have finally been pulled out of storage and opened.

The unveiling happened at The Warhol, a seven-floor warehouse dedicated to the work and life of Warhol himself.

Included in his time-capsules are the following: flyers from galleries, junk-mail, fan-letters, gallery-invitation cards, unopened letters, solicitations for work, freebie LPs, a lump of concrete, eccentric pornographic assemblages by Warhol’s friends and associates, thousands of used postage stamps that the artist tore from envelopes, packets of sweets and unopened Campbell’s soup tins.

Check out some images of the box contents below:
