Oceanomania | Mapping the Marvellous

Itineraries of curious objects and collections. Glossary of the Marvellous. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this new book by Mark Dion – ‘part exhibition catalogue, part scientific log book, and an archaeology of our fascination with the sea’:. Oceanomania: Souvenirs of Mysterious Seas from the Expedition to the Aquarium. For more info on the exhibition the book accompanied (still heart-broken I missed it). Oh, and I also can’t wait for Christmas break to begin. Bring it on. December 16, 2011.
