Hormigas hediondas de cuyo cerebro sale un hongo mortal, humanos cornudos, tostadas de ratón… Estas son algunas de las cosas que pueden encontrarse expuestas en el Museo de Tecnología Jurásica de David Wilson, un lugar escondido en el West Side de Los Angeles que nos pone en contacto con nuestro innato sentido de la maravilla haciendo que nos preguntemos cuáles de los singulares artefactos allí exhibidos son reales y cuáles no. En «El Gabinete de las Maravillas de Mr. Wilson» Lawrence Weschler rebusca entre los ecos de las «Wunderkammern» del siglo XVI y nos guía, de la mano de Borges y de Calvino, a través de una sala de espejos que se mueve entre el rigor de la ciencia y la ficción del arte, yuxtaponiendo lo auténtico y lo fantástico, lo verdadero y lo imaginario que hay en todo museo.
Pronged ants, horned humans, a landscape carved on a fruit pit--some of the displays in David Wilson's Museum of Jurassic Technology are hoaxes. But which ones? As he guides readers through an intellectual hall of mirrors, Lawrence Weschler revisits the 16th-century "wonder cabinets" that were the first museums and compels readers to examine the imaginative origins of both art and science.
