World Wide Wunderkammern
7:44 am
A list of internet-enabled cabinets of wonder and other museum-type resources I’ve happened across in the not-too-distant past:
- The Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata
- Curious Expeditions
- The Zymoglyphic Museum and its curator’s web log.
- Bioephemera: the art of biology and the biology of art.
- The Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society
- suggested donation
- and an oldie but always worth a visit: The Museum of Jurassic Technology
I’d definitely recommend browsing all of them–if you know of any I’ve missed, please leave a note in the comments.
Great links! I particularly enjoyed “Curious Expeditions”.
Thanks for this post Matt, several of these are new to me and others had been forgotten.
Here’s another, although it’s slim on natural history objects and a bit, um, ‘flashy’
