Cabinet of Wonder / Curiosity Box?

Hi light makers,

Thanks so much for your patience yesterday, I think we've got our engineering specs sorted now.

I was thinking in my waking/dreaming state that what we are making reminded me of a Wunderkammer, that cabinet of curiosities people used to collect before taxonomies and museums tried to make everything appear orderly. I had a look at some pics from Water for Elephants (will definitely see it Wanda!) and circuses and sideshows are also that collection of "wonders", whether they be bearded ladies, dwarves, strong men, exotic animals, elaborate carousels, maze of mirrors, all things designed to inspire wonder. (Maybe the glass cabinets in the room have triggered this train of thought . .)

Have a look at images in Google for Wunderkammer, and also:
