Possessing Nature

Drawing on archives of visitor's books, letters, travel journals, memoirs and pleas for patronage, this work reconstructs the lost social world of Renaissance and Baroque museums. It reveals how the scientific revolution grew from the mediation between old forms of knowledge and the new.
