During the late Renaissance, when the American continent was being colonized, galleons sailed around Cape Hope to India, Cathay and South East Asia. Australia was about to be found and named New Holland. That’s when royalty and upper class collected curiosities. In German named KunstKammers, in French Cabinets de Curiosités. Exotic shells, hides, porcelain, arms, a globe, scientific models.The pride of their owners, shells with some worth their weight in silver, spices in gold... Fascinating lore, the custom continues in our time.A small cabinet, memories from trips abroad, a compass to keep course,a flute from an Amazon tribe, a wood boomerang with a MOMA shape.
