The Palace of curiosities
The Palace of curiosities is a Victorian sideshow which was first exhibited at the Steampunk Exhibition, Bradford Industrial Museum but has subsequently gone on to appear in many incredible places including the Ikon Gallery, Manchester Museum, and Bemish to name a few.
Built in 2011, the Palace was a commission. It all started off from a telephone conversation where I was told the Idea of recreating a Victorian side show Cabinet based on a painting John P Burr titled the "Peepshow".
We worked hard during the end of summer 2011 to get the Palace ready to be entered in to a 6 month Exhibition based at Bradford Industrial Museum. As it was being exhibited with the Tranzient gallery (which was also in needed some work) it was a tight deadline but after a long cold night they were picked up the next day to be delivered to the museum.
