“Through art, the relics of history, and the detritus of nature, we may glimpse the tapestry of the Grand Design —
however fleetingly.”
—Dr. Mycenae T. Consonant
The purpose of this website is to share the progress of an ongoing project involving an inherited collection of artifacts and objects that once belonged to the (long-defunct) New Museum of the Pacific, located in Piedmont, California, owned and operated by Dr. Mycenae T. Consonant. Remnants of the collection were cleaned and repaired as necessary, and now reside in The Repository of Wonders, an exhibition that is maintained under the auspices of our staff who work tirelessly—researching, archiving, and preparing objects for display as they are added to the Repository.
We hope that you enjoy your stay here; please return as often as you like.
Please note that the entirety of The Repository of Wonders is the copyrighted work of Susan Malmstrom, Wanda Waterman, and Elizabeth Kenneday. We are often imitated; never equaled.
UPDATE: The Eaton Fire of Altadena, California destroyed most of the Consonant collection on January 7, 2025. We are currently in recovery mode and will give an update as soon as possible.
