Join a LACMA for a tour of The World Made Wondrous: The Dutch Collector’s Cabinet and the Politics of Possession.
Filled with over 300 objects including paintings, prints and sculptures, as well as gems, shells, and taxidermy, The World Made Wondrous recreates a fictive 17th-century Dutch collector’s cabinet in order to examine the political and colonial histories of European collecting practices in the 17th century. The exhibition will interrogate the underlying agendas and structures that were fundamental to these collections—which are precursors to today’s European and American museums, including LACMA.
