Nice! I have this little corner in my home where I keep some stones from the Via Appia in Rome, some meteorite (or dinosaur dung, I still don't know) that my aunt found in some desert in Israel, a buddha elephant that my sister brought from India, and the mundane but funny Eiffel tower that I bought on the streets in Paris (I know, it's for tourists, but I have promised myself for years to buy one of these the next visit).
Last year, without asking, my family bought some small stuffed creature (taxidermy?) from a store. It's a flying dragon in a nice picture frame and it's still so weird to look at it.
From this moment on I call this corner my curiosity cabinet (rariteitenkabinet, in Dutch) and I'm looking forward to the next strange or exotic thing that I can add to the collection.
- Ancapistani 2y agoMy wife and I are slowly amassing a similar collection. So far the centerpieces are a stone that I took from the corner of the hearth of one of her ancestor's homestead, a family Bible from the mid-1800s, and some metal tools that I've found on old family land while metal detecting.
