The web version of the exhibit [Wonder Bound] is a joy, and includes images such as a 16th-century Italian museum with seashells and a stuffed crocodile displayed on the ceiling, and an entomological display case being demonstrated by a butterfly-winged cupid.”

Just to let you know that I truly appreciate your site. It is a true wonder for me and my family. I just sent it to my 15 year old granddaughter and 13 year old grandson; a treasure of sources for them. Thank you so very much for bringing the world to our home.
