What is a curiosity cabinet

I visited the Houston museum of natural science and saw the cabinet of curiosites display (see link below). They started as a room, also called a cabinet, that a person had filled with items they had collected (medival armor to animal bones) and when visitors came by the home owner would show it off so to speak. These were the precusor to modern museums.

Well I would like to share some items I have collected and that is why I call it Ken's Curiosity Cabinet. I hope you will enjoy and as always

GOD Bless you and your families

Kenneth
