This exhibition is curated by students from the history department of Queen’s, University, Belfast. Working together, they have selected objects from the museum’s stores and explored their history and significance.
They sought inspiration from the concept of the ‘cabinet of curiosities’, a term first used in the sixteenth century to describe private collections of unrelated and ‘curious’ objects displayed privately to one’s friends.
This eclectic mix of objects offers an opportunity to view rarely seen items from the museums unique collection.
