Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder: Pronged Ants, Horned Humans, Mice on Toast, and Other Marvels of Jurassic Technology is a 1995 book by Lawrence Weschler primarily about the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles, California, and, more broadly, the history and role of museums.
The book is divided into two sections, called Inhaling the Spore and Cerebral Growth.
The author relates his experiences with the museum and its creator, the titular David Hildebrand Wilson.
"Cerebral growth" is also a pun, as one of the objects of the museum is a human horn.
