Among the many oddities, you will see Lewis Carroll's "Imaginary Cabinet Room by Lonnie Hanzon, Nick Bantocks Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man and Elaine Pellhams Fisher Kings Tackle Box.Original cabinets dated from the 16th century and were entire rooms of specimens. The most famous, best documented cabinets of rulers and aristocrats, members of the merchant class and early practitioners of science formed collections that were the precursors to the museum. In Cabinet of Curiosities, MOA seeks to recreate the wonder and contemplation once aroused in the 19th century cabinets.
