Not all musingplaces have and income stream from the public purse yet they are there and they are the repositories of 'cultural property'. Somehow, and sometimes, the collections in such musingplaces are at least as important as the ones 'the public' subsidise if not more so. The curators know their subjects quite well even when they do not have PhDs etc. Their placedness is often secret for security reasons and very often the start out as so much 'worthless crap' wind up in 'public collections'. Not unusually, they are ascribed values beyond measure largely because some public musingplace 'collection keeper' missed their value – fiscal, social, cultural.
WUNDERKAMMER4051|2725-15300 is such a collection within such a musingplace.
thanks Ray, for private use until requested to be opened to other curators, scholars or designers . . .
