My contribution to the project is to recreate the original concept of the cabinet of curiosity. Objects that are included belong to natural history, geology, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art and antiquities. In this age of instant access to imagery via the internet and television, I want to transport the visitor back to a time when people were seeing exotic objects for the first time - or even being fooled by clever showmen professing to have evidence of 'mermaids' from the South Seas!
