Theme

The Wunderkammer was a private collection found in Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth century; the artificial and the natural, along with the marvelous were used as a way to categorise objects contained in this early prototype to the museum.

The photographers in the exhibition have drawn upon various aspects of these three categories; largely through looking at different cultural practices found both within the display and arrangement of objects.
