The Victorians were very keen on collecting unusual things particularly items of natural history and revived the cabinet of curiosities. It is here that the seeds were sown for assemblages. A display of objects is a work of art by the very way it has been put together. Such collectors carefully displayed their objects in the most pleasing way.
