Menagerie is the term for a historical form of keeping wild and exotic animals in human captivity and therefore a predecessor of the modern zoological garden. The term was foremost used in seventeenth century France originally for the management of the household or domestic stock, but later primarily for an aristocratic or royal animal collection. The Encyclopédie Méthodique of 1782 defines a menagerie as an "établissement de luxe et de curiosité."
