Cabinet of Curiosities, Guillermo del Toro’s horror anthology series, had its first trailer released on Netflix

Netflix has just released the first look at Guillermo del Toro’s horror series, Cabinet of Curiosities. Cabinet of Curiosities is a six-episode anthology series and Del Toro will direct two episodes himself. In both his episode and those of other directors, Del Toro describes Cabinet as “weirdly hopeful – it’s a good weird feeling, it’s not dystopian or pessimistic.” He wants to explore fear in an “oddly sweet way,” with care for its characters rather than just “jump scares”.

Story of The Cabinet of Curiosities

If you’re a fan of the exploratory naturalism of Victorian Science, then you must know about the Cabinet of Curiosities. It was an eclectic collection assembled by the German physician and naturalist Professor Friedrich Christian Ludwig Hagenmüller (1803-1878). The Cabinet was comprised of his collections as well as items he purchased. It was said to have housed 2,000 specimens and artifacts from every corner of the world.

In 1866, this spectacular collection became part of Robert Dudley’s new museum in London. The museum is today more commonly known as “The Museum Of Curiosity”. The museum was a place where myriad natural history interests could come together to see specimens that would otherwise remain unseen. It is still active but is now known as The Natural History Museum (London). When the museum opened, the public was especially interested in “curiosity cabinets”. These cabinets were often built with fantastic and sometimes grotesque and unusual collections of taxidermy animals. For example, the Museum Of Curiosity has a “Cabinet of Curiosities” that includes a 15 ft birdcage, while another display includes a cabinet where one can get into an aquarium through an opening in the ceiling (the ceiling of the aquarium is part of the floor).
