During the Renaissance, wealthy individuals cultivated private collections of artifacts known as cabinets of curiosity. These precursors to modern museums displayed a diverse array of marvelous objects, blurring the lines between fact and fiction. Mythological artifacts mingled with genuine relics, shaping the evolution of dollhouses and modern museums alike.
