Queens Closet by Richard Cleaver

I am completely excited about this piece from the Delaware Art Museum: The Queens Closet by Richard Cleaver. I have always been a huge Tudor buff and this has got to be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Fascinated with history this artist creates elaborate cabinets to capture the lives and secrets of historical figures. King Henry VIII, famous for beheading his wives when they failed to produce a male heir, reveals portraits of his six wives when compartments are opened.
