Skulls, butterflies, hunting trophies, ancient Egyptian artifacts, the alleged skeletons of mythological creatures, and many other mysterious oddities fill cabinets of wonder. A centuries-old tradition developed in Europe during the Renaissance, cabinets of wonder (also known as curiosity cabinets) are once again in fashion. Shops, restaurants, and private residences echo these cabinets in their interior design, by making use of the eclectic vintage objects commonly featured in such collections. Cabinets of Wonder showcases exceptional collections in homes and museums, with more than 180 photographs, while also explaining the history behind the tradition, the best-known collections, and the types of objects typically displayed. Offering both a historical overview and a look into contemporary interior design, this extravagantly illustrated book celebrates the wonderfully odd world of cabinets of wonder.

At first, I was thinking about check it out and return it if i don’t like but i instead added it to my collection! Apart from photos of oddities, it also explains history of this tradition and types of objects collected. I do wish it had finished a bit stronger with how the wonder cabinet tradition is continuing in modern art - it did mention this, but in an offhand way that was more comment than commentary.
And a note about the binding and covering - it is more fragile than other books, so take care with rough handling (some kind of paper that easily scratches, tears, scuffs, etc.).. A wonderfully designed book full of gorgeous photos of curiosity cabinets and art inspired by them. It is not a hyperlink so you have to key in each letter in your browser. You can then print or save.
I did remove one star from my rating based on the lack of a hyper link.. Super ok. This adult coloring book has a very good selection of types of mandalas as well as different lev
