His matchbox collection goes back to 18th century!  

Meet Gautam Hemmady, a retired architect who's turned matchbox collecting into an art form. With over 25,000 matchboxes, labels, and covers, some dating back to the 1800s, he's a Phillumenist like no other. His collection even features icons from India's freedom struggle. Showcased in his first exhibition "Matchbox Labels And The Stories They Tell," his matchboxes serve as a mini-museum of a nation's history and culture. Truly the 'Man of the Match,' Gautam's passion turns the mundane into the magnificent. #India #Delhi #matchbox #collector #matchbox #fire
