Cabinet of Curiosities

Assignment:

You must create a Cabinet of Curiosity of your own. This can be loosely defined but it must display some sort of collection. Your Cabinet can be the size of a room or as small as an Altoids box, but it must be a work of art in and of itself. It can be stationary or animated. You can take your inspiration from the rooms of John Tredescant, the boxes of Joseph Cornell, or the animation of Jan Svankmajer and the Brothers Quay.
