What's likely the most impressive collection of Braun artifacts in the world isn't found in a design museum or school, but instead in the private home of Dr. Peter Kapos. While not on public view, Kapos has made his collection viewable in an online exhibit he calls Das Programm. In an interview with Fast Company, Kapos explains the sometimes strange position of housing a design museum and raising a young family in the same space, "I have boys of four and seven who have learned not to touch anything made in Germany.”
His Braun collection, which spans nearly every decade of the industrial design giant's history, includes audio equipment, cameras and flashes, and household items such as kitchen appliances and clocks. The collection cuts off roughly around the time the company was purchased by Gillette and subsequently stopped producing audio equipment.
