There also is Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder by Lawrnece Weschler- a
wonderful book that is set more in the present but, I think, carries on
in the spirit of collecting and wonder cabinets.

Currently, I am doing research on Cabinets of Curiosities for an
upcoming
exhibit. Does anyone on the list have information or advice
concerning:
1. Other recent exhibits
2. Literature
3. Experts in the field on the topic
4. Legal/ethical considerations to keep in mind

Thanks for the help,
