Montelupo to Moje -
500 years of objets d'arts
from the Gallery's collection
until 8 February 2009

This miscellany of objects from different periods and places in history-and created in a variety of media, forms and styles-echoes the Renaissance notion of a wunderkammer (literally 'room of wonders') or 'cabinet of curiosities' housing an idiosyncratic array of prized or exotic collectibles.
