Cabinet of Curiosity

In the past, natural philosophers and wealthy patrons displayed oddities and curiosities in their homes and colleges. These cabinets played an important role in the beginnings of science by igniting curiosity! This curiosity led to a fervor of learning and a spirit of investigation that in turn led to more scientific discoveries. Join us as we scour the Internet, libraries, museums (coffee shops? forests?) to discover curiosities to include in our virtual curio cabinet!
