About the name: A wunderkammer, also known as a cabinet of curiosities or a wonder room, is a collection of objects meant to represent the world in miniature. Wunderkammern were popular during the Renaissance, when wealthy people would amass encyclopedic collections that might include fossils, paintings, sculptures, bones, feathers, religious relics, and other oddities. The tradition of the wonder room is believed by some people to be the precursor to the modern museum.
