Cos'è la meraviglia e cosa significa collezionarla?
Le Wunderkammer, chiamate anche stanze delle meraviglie o stanze delle curiosità in francese, nascono nel sedicesimo secolo tra i sovrani ed eclettici collezionisti. Luoghi straordinari in tutto il mondo, dal Rinascimento, dal XVIII secolo, dall'epoca dell'Illuminismo, alcune collezioni diedero origine al concetto contemporaneo di museo portando a noi le prestigiose gallerie provenienti da grandiose ville e castelli. Stranezze eccentriche e di inestimabile valore esistono tuttora nelle collezioni private.
