Wunderkammern,
Cabinets of Curiosities
Arose in mid-sixteenth-century Europe as repositories for all manner of wondrous and exotic objects.
In essence these collections—combining specimens, diagrams, and illustrations from many disciplines; marking the intersection of science and superstition; and drawing on natural, human made, and artificial worlds—can be seen as the precursors to museums.
