Together these images begin to limn the institution's multiple functions, pleasures, spaces, and symbolic effects. The exhibition presents a number of "personal museums," from portable collections of miniature reproductions of artistic work, through introspective assortments of personal artifacts, to full-scale interiors displaying created or found objects. Explorations of ethnographic or natural history museums inspire a sense of wonderment at the world of taxonomic specimen cases, mineral cabinets, and indigenous flora. They also provoke critiques of the collecting process and the unequal relations between cultures. For this exhibition, Mark Dion has created The Great Chain of Being (1999), a contemporary Wunderkammer based on Aristotle's hierarchical organization of the natural world.

The ideology of Modernism has been central to the foundation of these museums and it is interwoven with a whole system of aesthetics and art historical documentation. A significant feature of Modernism is its rejection of the past and complete confidence in the process of change, advocating the supremacy of the new and novel. The nature of Art history is to provide the processes by which new movements become historisized so terms like Avante Garde or Post Modernism are suggestive of the after effects of artistic tendencies. 'Modern' has changed from a state of existence to a moment in history and has therefore become 'classic', no longer Modern. The Museum of Modern Art, New York was able to shape modernism into an ideology which was perfectly in tune with American lifestyle, Puritan aesthetic tradition and capitalism.
