Welcome to my Cabinet.
Originating in the Renaissance (although certain medieval lords such as John of Gaunt developed them much earlier), Cabinets of Curiosities flourished throughout Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. Also known as Wonder Rooms, they were filled with the strange, the beautiful, the marvelous, the horrible, but always things of interest.
Of course, that depends a lot on one's interests...the collections were often decidedly warped, depending on the proclivities of the collector. Welcome to my Cabinet. I hope you will find some things that interest you.
