A collection of wild animals kept for display, or any chaotic collection of different things or people.
From French 'ménagerie,' derived from 'ménage' (household management). Originally referred to royal collections of exotic animals, a status symbol of European monarchs.
Royal menageries like those in Versailles were actual power symbols—the more exotic and dangerous your animals, the more money and global reach you had, making them the original status-flex of the wealthy!
