Description
As the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT explains: "European Cabinets of Art and Curiosity were places of universal learning in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries....They were the museums of their time, offering visitors first-hand knowledge of the far-away world through objects they could see with their own eyes, and touch with their own hands."
In 2015 the museum opened their own Cabinet from various materials that had been collected during the 20th century, in particular objects donated by J. Pierpont Morgan in 1917. It took an additional step by creating a virtual rendering of the Cabinet that can be viewed online. This screenshot shows an overview map of that synthetic space, which can be viewed by following this link.
It is of interest to OpenValley due to questions about the underlying logic of musuem and gallery spatial tours, which are addressed in the story map African Past: Migrant Future.
