The Peninsula Museum of Art presents its fall exhibition, Obsessions, selected personal collections illustrates the history of museums (and especially art museums) in honor of the Centennial of the Manor House, home of the Peninsula Museum of Art. Throughout history, wealthy people have traveled and collected objets d'art (and whatever else caught their fancy), brought them home, and displayed them in "cabinets of curiosities" for their own pleasure and to entertain and impress their dinner guests.

Over time, these personal collections grew and grew until special buildings were needed and built to house and care for the objects properly. Many of these collections became private (and ultimately public) museums.

An outstanding personal collection doesn't just happen. There must be a commitment to the particular object or class of objects, and the commitment must endure over time, with resources dedicated to the search for and acquisition of additional coveted objects: an obsession.
