Cabinet of Curiosity (#9)

Our cabinet of curiosity, is situated at number 8, on the Museum Map.

What on earth is that?  I am sure I have seen this before?  Did you say that is a portable toilet?

Our cabinet of curiosity are artefacts especially chosen by our Museum Curator, and team, that you may never have known existed.
