Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder

Such a fun read and a story so well told! I've always wanted to go to the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles, but it was either closed or it didn't fit in our schedules. Next time in LA I'm making it a priority. Art, wackiness, weirdness, joy!

Jonathan Grunert

I don’t know what I expected in this book, but I found the story of the museum, the longer history of curiosity cabinets, and the lengthy notes on those cabinets equally compelling. That’s right—read the notes. They add another 30-40 pages, but they’re well worth the investment.
