Synopsis

The East York Museum of Curiosities is a traveling mobile museum exhibit that provides the public a once in a lifetime opportunity to personally experience the theatrics and artifacts that astounded attendees of Cabinets of Curiosities from the 15th to 18th centuries and were truly the precursors to the modern day museum. However, unlike modern day museums, in keeping with the early tradition of curiosities on display, the attendees view a collection of real, rare and original fictional artifacts, never seen before in this century and perhaps may never to be seen again. This book was created to offer those who have not seen the curiosities exhibit an opportunity to do so through the selection offered by photograph and description therein. As well this book was also intended to create a permanent record of selected items in the collection, with the proceeds of the sale of this limited edition publication to go towards maintaining the travelling exhibits. Within the pages of this book you will see and read about such curiosities as a 15th century hand of glory, a 17th century vampire protection kit, a 20th century electric sance board, 4th century crucifixion nails and 10th century mummified monkeys paw and many more artifacts from a 15th to 18th century cabinet of curiosities.
