It’s been nearly five months since we lost visionary director David Lynch, and now his memorabilia are up for auction.

Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) have announced the David Lynch Collection, which includes more than 450 items like Lynch’s vinyl collection, books, scripts, paintings, instruments and treasured movie collectables. Even some of his woodshop tools and accessories.

“Julien’s and TCM are honored to represent and offer to the public for the first time this incredible collection of one of the greatest and most revered filmmakers of all time, David Lynch,” Catherine Williamson, the managing director of entertainment at Julien’s Auctions, said in a press release.  

“These historical and cherished pieces reflecting David Lynch’s singular artistic vision, as well as his passions and pursuits ranging from his director’s chair, espresso machine to his guitar, record collections and Twin Peaks style decor, come directly from the home of the visionary artist whose enigmatic films stirred our most imaginative and collective surreal dreams.”
