The Marvelous Museum exhibition was what it said it was, MARVELOUS. As an exhibition put together on the basis of digging into the depths of the museum's unique collection, the works shown encompassed every era and every department/collection. There were art works, historical remnants and scientific objects. It was a total spectacle....And I ate it up.

Home movie safari films??
This was a girl having tea with an elephant...naturally. |

| Elephant in storage....on view....in storage...on view. |
 |
| This was an installation in which you could draw your own portrait via a touchscreen, and then wait to see it presented on a wall of eclectic portraits from various time periods and mediums. YAY technology.. |
 |
| My favorite installation was this statue next to a stuffed giraffe in a wood and plastic crate. It had peek holes sliced into the plastic wrapping....in the best of places. |
This exhibition made me feel really excited...8 year old excited. And it seemed to have this effect on a lot of people. Everywhere people were snickering, grinning, tilting their heads, and scrambling around the next corner or into surprise nooks.
As always, thanks Marc Dion.
