A Cabinet of Curiosities

<p><em>A Cabinet of Curiosities</em>&nbsp;&mdash; such a delightful term. It embraces all the romance of the gentleman (or gentlewoman) collector, from parish curates to kings. A time just before the birth of scientific classification, when unicorns and mermaids might still exist, if one was to travel and explore far enough. A time which flows in a direct line to modern museums.</p> <p>In a city with so much to see, Prague&rsquo;s Strahov Monastery was a spectacular &mdash; and tranquil &mdash; find. Paths filled with flowers and birdsong meander past the white monastery buildings; there was an even a place offering accommodation (I noted down the details for next time).</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/show-your-city/a-cabinet-of-curiosities-881a556f669c"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
