At the Museum of Jurassic Technology, some things will be real and some will not. Not knowing which is which is the entire point.
The first thing to know when you get to the Museum of Jurassic Technology is that you can’t, under any circumstances, use your cell phone. Not to take photos, not to text, not to google the information in the exhibits being presented to you as fact so you can figure out what’s actually true. You just have to make peace with your spidey sense telling you that things are slightly off, and you’re not going to be able to use the internet to find out why.
Not being able to figure out what the place is about is an unsettling feeling. As you make your way from one exhibit to the next, they get stranger and stranger. Why is there a room filled with paintings oftwoThere are no explanations, but there are clues. That string exhibit, called “Cat’s Cradles and their Venerable Collectors,” honors three women who really did collect string figures: Honor Maude, Kathleen Haddon and Caroline Furness Jayne.
To be fair, that’s the feeling that founder and museum director David Wilson wants you to have. To him, what’s real and what isn’t is immaterial. The place is a museum dedicated to museums themselves, an exploration of what we deem is important to remember, why we self-select which parts of history to preserve, and how we carry it forward into the future.
Reduced to their most basic explanation, folk cures were attempts by people with few other resources to remedy what they could with what they had, and to at least feel like they had a tiny bit of agency over things that happen in life they truly couldn’t control. There are scientific explanations for why some worked, like administering ants’ eggs as an antidote to love; the eggs have a chemical compound that inhibits endorphins, literally stopping people from experiencing euphoric feelings.
