Date Range

Scope and Content
File contains two catalogs of the "Curiouser & Curiouser" exhibit in the Cortes Island Museum, 2019/2020, curated by Christian Gronau. Modelled loosely on the fabled cabinets, boxes, rooms and chambers of the Renaissance, this exhibition was an invitation to reawaken the unreserved and almost childlike interest and curiosity of age when Europeans shook off the shadows of the Dark Ages and awoke to the fascination of the external world. When people of intellect and time to spare went (for better and for worse) in search of adventure, discovery and illumination, to all the corners of the Earth. They came back with stories full of wonder and brought back specimens full of mystery and promise. Their curiosity changed forever the ways in which humans look upon the world.

History / Biographical
Christian Gronau studied palaeontology and geology in Germany. He came to Canada in 1972 and worked in the mining sector in the N.W.T. (among other places), where he met Aileen. Christian and Aileen (C&A) moved together to Cortes Island in 1978, where they lived for 34 years on a water-access-only property, without hydro or telephone (Swamp’s Edge), supporting themselves as beach- only shellfish farmers (Last Farm Oysters). Throughout, C&A have been avid naturalists, continuing this tradition from their present home at the south-end of Cortes Island (Tanglebank).
