The Wunderkammer were known for their ability to interest and intrigue onlookers - filled with natural wonders, exotica and works of art related to the supernatural - and in turn encouraged a thirst for learning and a curiosity about the arts and science.

With this in mind, The Age of The Marvellous’ director and curator, Joe La Placa, has bought together over sixty works of art, with “99%” being especially produced for the exhibition; pieces which aim to demonstate how contemporary artists are drawing on this Renaissance trend and going beyond the boundaries of traditional art.

With artists including Paul Fryer and his striking black Christ in the electric chair, and Ben Tyer’s sculpture Breathe which draws attention to the process of ‘breathing’, The Age of The Marvellous represents a type of art breaking away from the homogeny of galleries and auctions.
