Curiosity
What curious stories do objects tell? The pieces in Curiosity invite you to observe them carefully. They cause astonishment and act as conversation pieces, just like the objects displayed in seventeenth-century cabinets of curiosities used to do. Some objects tickle our curiosity as a result of their expressive or remarkable appearance or of their unusual function. Other pieces are outsiders in the collection or came into existence in a quite peculiar manner.
