A closet so organized it's being exhibited at the Met

[...] Sara Berman's closet, with its starched and ironed clothes and linens, its stack of soft hats, its jar of buttons and its row of Easy Spirit shoes, all lined up and all in shades of white, ivory or the palest ecru, went far beyond that.

The closet was meticulously saved in bins and, about a decade after Berman's death, it was installed in a tiny lower Manhattan museum, called Mmuseumm, founded by her grandson.

At age 62, after 38 years of marriage, she left her husband, her money, and most of her possessions, and moved into a tiny studio apartment in Greenwich Village.

[...] in a modest closet, she lovingly organized her undergarments, nightgowns, shirts, pants, shoes, sweaters, hats, linens, beauty products, luggage and other belongings.

[...] included in the closet at the Met are Berman's well-used potato grater and cookie dough press, a clear inflatable globe that made her laugh (she kept 13 of the globes in her apartment), a wooden recipe box, a tiny notebook of knitting patterns and, tucked in a far corner, a few of the hefty biographies she loved to read.
