Cabinet of Curiosity: Drexel's Rare and Unusual Collections

Beginning October 15, 2013

8:00 AM-7:00 PM

Exhibition from October 15, 2013 through December 13, 2013. A skull of conjoined calves, a 19th century medical amputation kit and a misassembled “Frankensquid” are mysterious on their own, but what’s even more puzzling is that these objects somehow ended up at Drexel University. Originally hailing from all around the world, thirty of Drexel’s most atypical items were featured in “Cabinet of Curiosity: Drexel’s Rare and Unusual Collections.”

The items from The Drexel Collection, Drexel University College of Medicine and the Academy of Natural Sciences are considered “rare and unusual” because they are unusually remarkable in their own right or were acquired outside their respective collections’ parameters.
