Leonard Feinstein
Leonard Feinstein's Inhaling the Spore: A Journey Through the Museum of Jurassic Technology (2006) is a worthwhile substitute for visiting the actual museum, in Los Angeles. The film brings to life Lawrence Weschler's book, Mr. Wilson's Cabinet Of Wonder: Pronged Ants, Horned Humans, Mice on Toast, and Other Marvels of Jurassic Technology. Interviews with Ricky Jay (top) and museum founder David Wilson (bottom) are highlights.
