There, players will make way to the Cabinet of Curiosities where Quarex the Caretaker can be found. Inside the location in the North West section will have a machine that resembles a fortune-telling machine found in fairs next to a large stone throne.
The Fernie Museum is proud to present Cabinet of Curiosities, a video series investigating the stories behind our artifact collection. Each week, a new object is thoroughly examined by our trusty Collectionsperson, Lindsay Vallance.
The star of this week’s show is not an object, but a room: specifically, the bath-room. Come with us and explore the Victorian London’s ludicrous lack of ladies lavatories, and how it affected lives of half the population.
