Cabinet de curiosites,
Anonymous (end of the 17th century),
Oil on canvas,
Florence, Opificio delle Pietre Dure.
A Wunderkammer, or chamber of
curiosities, was a precursor to the
modern museum. During the
Rennaissance kings, noblemen and rich
burghers with an interest in the arts
and sciences collected objects of
varying kinds: stones precious and
semi-precious, fossils, pieces of
art and
exotic artifacts. They stored and
displayed them in
purpose-designed
rooms, Wunderkammers, which were
pieces of furniture
also known as
Cabinets of Curiosities. Curalia AB, a
company based in
Sweden, is using
Fedora to develop a digital
Wunderkammer
