A Cabinet of Curiosities, also called a Chamber of Wonder or Kunst und Wunderkammer, is a kind of memory museum, a microcosm of the world, featuring objects belonging to natural history—sometimes faked—including archaeological, religious, historical, as well as personal relics and small works of art. Such 'miracle chambers' convey the collector's control over the chaos of the cosmos by way of interior, miniature reproduction.
