The Museum of Jurassic Technology is located in Los Angeles. It is the creation of a visionary named David Wilson---who for the past decade has been displaying exhibits that stretch the boundaries of imagination and reality--the horn of a woman from the year 1688, a bat which can supposedly pass clean through solid objects, microminiature sculptures...including Snow White and her Seven Dwarfs on the shaft of a needle. Each exhibit is documented---and Wilson appears to believe that all of it is absolutely genuine and the stories surrounding them are true. Our guide through the museum is New Yorker Magazine writer Lawrence Weschler (WESH-lurr)---who chronicled this museum in his book Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonders ---his audio portrait is produced by David Isay.
