Fantastic, bizarre, touching - and entire rooms filled with them! Stuffed animals, mysterious fossils, wax figures and death masks, intricately carved ivory, as well as paintings and sculptures, exotic items and antiques. In short, the entirely private cosmos of natural, artificial, and scientific phenomena was found in the famous cabinets of curiosities - true wonder chambers for the contemporaries of the 15th to 19th centuries. A wonderful school of amazement!.
