In our everything-all-the-time-right-away world, it's nice to find those corners where wonder still exists. That's why we like spending some time in the Museum of Lost Wonder by Jeff Hoke, an admittedly old-fashioned cul-de-sac where the thrill of discovery awaits. The website will give you a taste but it's the beautifully illustrated and designed book that holds the fun. What's here? It's easier to enjoy than describe. Science and magic, philosophy and dreams, mysteries all. When was the last time a book led you on tour of the universe? The Museum of Lost Wonder exists only in your imagination, a place without crowds, with no admission fee, that repays repeated visits.
