The Enduring Spell of Curiosity Cabinets or How We Rearranged the Universe Just to Show Off Our Weird Rocks

Mark your calendars for September 26, 2025, because you’re definitely going to “attend” this online-only Zoom lecture. 📅💻

Get ready to remotely marvel at “Cabinets of Curiosities” for a mere $15 ticket, because nothing screams excitement like looking at rare objects from your couch. This riveting online event explores “Wunderkammern” and the universe’s vastness, which is almost as entertaining as staring at your own ceiling. Giovanni Aloi, the Editor of *Antennae*, will lecture you about “curated identities” and the “longing to impose order on chaos” (ironic, since my browser has 47 tabs open).

His books include *Speculative Taxidermy* (2018), *Lucian Freud – Herbarium* (2019), and *Botanical Revolutions* (2025) — because why not buy a book when you can just listen to a Zoom call? 📚💸

Please consider a donation—because the Linnean Society clearly needs your cash more than you do. 🤑 The Zoom link will be emailed a couple of hours before the event starts, so keep refreshing that inbox! Also, don’t forget to subscribe to their newsletter if you love spam. 📧🤡
