Скачать или смотреть The Strange World of Victorian Obsessions and Collecting | History For Sleep

Step inside Victorian Britain, a world powered by steam, ambition, and one very peculiar national pastime: collecting absolutely everything. From seashells and stuffed owls to fossils, skulls, and insects pinned with unsettling enthusiasm, the Victorians weren’t just gathering objects — they were building identities. And today, we’re exploring the strange, hilarious, and surprisingly relatable world of Victorian obsessions and collecting.
You’ll hear how the Industrial Revolution, the British Empire, and the Enlightenment collided to create a generation obsessed with natural history, fossils, rare shells, taxidermy birds, and even human remains. You’ll meet gentlemen collectors, amateur scientists, butterfly-pinning children, and determined naturalists who treated every beetle like a breakthrough discovery. And yes — we’ll talk about how Victorian homes looked like someone combined a zoo, a greenhouse, and a crime scene.
