Everything about Musaeum Tradescantianum totally explained
The
Musaeum Tradescantianum was the first public
museum to be established in
England. Located at
Lambeth in south
London, it comprised a collection of
curiosities assembled by
John Tradescant the elder and
his son in a building called The Ark, and a botanical collection in the grounds of the building. Tradescant divided the exhibits into natural objects (
naturalia) and manmade objects (
artificialia). The first account of the collection, by Peter Mundy, is from
1634. Shortly after Tradescant's death in
1662, the museum's contents were acquired by the
Ashmolean Museum in
Oxford.
The Tradescant collection is the earliest major English
Cabinet of Curiosities. Other famous collections in Europe preceded it, for example Emperor
Rudolf II's Kunst- und Wunderkammer was well-established at
Prague by the end of the 16th century.
