  • "Derrière la façade anodine d'un immeuble de Culver City, à Los Angeles, se cache un "improbable Musée de technologie jurassique". Il est l'oeuvre d'un personnage tout autant singulier, un certain David Wilson. Ce dernier a rassemblé quelques-unes des bizarreries les plus extravagantes que l'homme ait pu produire ou trouver dans la nature."
  • "The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles is the starting point for Weschler's examination of the origins of modern museums, the generative role of pure imagination in both art and science, and the mystifying bases of the authoritative in every field."

  • "Pronged ants, horned humans, a landscape carved on a fruit pit--some of the displays in David Wilson's Museum of Jurassic Technology are hoaxes. But which ones? As he guides readers through an intellectual hall of mirrors, Lawrence Weschler revisits the 16th-century "wonder cabinets" that were the first museums and compels readers to examine the imaginative origins of both art and science."@en
