In Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonders, Lawrence Weschler describes a singular and marvellous place: David Wilson's "Museum of Jurassic Technology. Wilson's museum challenges our understanding not only of museums but of authenticity itself. Weschler examines this challenge to our ability to know what is real and what is not, by quoting historian Stephen Greenblatt: "The expression of wonder stands for all that cannot be understood, that can scarecely be believed. It calls attention to the problem of credibility and at the same time insists upon the undeniability, the exigency of experience" (quoted in Weschler 79).
