The Archivist x Natural History Museum: A Timeless Tribute to Nature’s Masterpieces
At Archivist, our story began deep in the archives of the Natural History Museum back in 1998. It was there that our passion for art, history, and craftsmanship took flight, inspiring us to create beautifully designed, high-quality matchboxes that celebrate the wonders of the natural world. Now, in 2025, we honor this rich heritage with an exclusive collection of matchbox designs, made in collaboration with the very institution where our journey started.
Among the highlights of this collection is the striking Golden-eye Duck matchbox, featuring the iconic artwork of John J. Audubon—one of history’s greatest ornithologists and artists. His legendary work, The Birds of America, took over 12 years to complete and remains one of the most treasured natural history books ever published. With nearly 500 species painted in their native habitats and captured in their most lifelike poses, Audubon’s masterpiece is a testament to his genius and dedication to the beauty of birds.
Now, you can own a piece of this extraordinary legacy. Our classic matchboxes are more than just practical items—they’re miniature works of art that bring history, nature, and craftsmanship into your home. Whether as a stylish conversation piece, a unique gift, or a functional household essential, this beautifully designed matchbox is a must-have for bird lovers, art enthusiasts, and collectors alike.
