Found objects that are overlooked

 All of the following are everyday objects. 
 All of these objects are found in place and are often overlooked by the users of the space, they are everyday objects that are used in the space for either structural purposes or they are used to bring a sense of identity to the space they are in.  (Unless it is the fire exit sign, in which case it is a necessity for the building to have one) 


 I found a few of these objects around the museum and at first I didn't notice them, an everyday toy is overlooked as it seemed to part of the exhibit. 

 Another example of overlooked objects is the padlock and the pulley chain for the steel shutter. The steel girders in the museum are used as part of the structural support, but they also bring character and an identity to the space and bring in a sense of the spaces' history into the building. 
 
 Found what looks like to be a dragon on the steam engine in the museum.( Personally I though that it was cute.)
