Further details

Sandi Toksvig, comedian, host of The News Quiz, and the daughter of at one time the most famous man in Denmark, donates to the Museum the alphabet, and the strange fact that as soon as writing comes into a civilization that women get cast asunder.

Will Storr, a journalist and author who in the past has hunted fossils with a creationist and ghost hunting despite the fact he is very easily scared, offers to the Museum is some type of tiny wasps, an explaination for Morgellons Disease, a disease that make you itch all over despite the fact it doesn't exist.

Lieven Scheire, a Belgian comedian, author, physicist, and former World Number One cloud spotting champion, provides The Museum of Curiosity with his new pet, a parasitic wasp which he keeps in an insect hotel.
