Curiosity Cabinets: Unlocked

Isle a la Cache Museum • 501 E. Romeo Road RomeovilleIL  60441 Organized by Forest Preserve District of Will County

About this event

Description

What is a curiosity cabinet? How did these natural collections morph into the museums we have today? Let’s unlock the mystery together! An interpretive naturalist will give an informative presentation followed by a group activity. Guests have the option of bringing in their own natural “curiosity” (a pretty rock, fossil, seashell, Grandma’s 19th-century broach — you name it!) to display during the presentation to make a group “cabinet.” After the presentation, we can learn from each other about the wonders on display. Participants’ items will be returned so they can safely go back home after the program.

The museum is an accessible facility.

Ages 10 and older.


If you have any questions, please call us at 815-722-9301.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.
