The "cabinet of curiosities" was a collector's ambitious attempt to house all of humankind's knowledge within a single room. Aristocratic virtuosos gathered objects spanning art, science, and intellectual endeavor, creating real-life catalogues of the world. These collections featured items like narwhal tusks, rare gems, Murano glass, paintings, automata, and illustrations of mythical creatures. They offer a journey through time, from the Renaissance to the present, reflecting the evolution of civilization and the concept of the museum.
