Dion has long been fascinated by cabinets of curiosities – collections of oddities that formed the basis for many modern museums. Now, as part of his Oceanomania exhibitions in Monaco, he has built the world’s largest wunderkammer, filled with seldom seen objects from the principality’s Oceanographic Institute.
