Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) owned a colorful assortment of mementos that he collected during his travels: medieval armor, weapons, costumes, and animal skins.
He also kept a celebrated pet monkey, who kept him company in the studio and came to the dinner table wearing formal attire.
But from time to time the monkey would escape from its confinement, "turning the studio into a shambles and terrorizing the neighborhood."
