I was wondering if anyone watches Katie Strachan on Youtube, if you don't i highly recommend her channel it is so inspiring and eye opening.
She mentions something called "The Cabinet of Curiosities" and I tried googling what that is but i didn't get any satisfactory results.
Does anyone know what that is? if we can still sign up? there are a few things that I really want to know more about.
Thanks everyone
Cabinets of curiosities (German: Kunstkammer and Kunstkabinett), also known as cabinets of wonder and wonder-rooms (German: Wunderkammer), were collections of notable objects. Although more rudimentary collections had preceded them, the classic cabinets of curiosities emerged in the sixteenth century. The term cabinet originally described a room rather than a piece of furniture. Modern terminology would categorize the objects included as belonging to natural history (sometimes faked), geology, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art (including cabinet paintings), and antiquities. In addition to the most famous and best documented cabinets of rulers and aristocrats, members of the merchant class and early practitioners of science in Europe formed collections that were precursors to museums.
