Q.  What exactly is the definition of the word Wunderkammer?
A. Wunderkammer is the German word for a “wonder-room.”
The classic style of a Wunderkammer, emerged in the sixteenth century, although more rudimentary collections had existed earlier. The Kunstkammer of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, (ruled 1576-1612), housed in the Hradschin at Prague was unrivalled north of the Alps provided a solace and retreat for contemplation that also served to demonstrate his imperial magnificence and power in symbolic arrangement of their display, ceremoniously presented to visiting diplomats and magnates.
