Two places to look:

Hood Museum did a marvelous exhibit years ago, called "The Age of the 
Marvelous".  The catalog is a gem, well worth consulting for info on 
cabinets.

There was (maybe still is) an exhibit at Harvard's Collection of 
Historical Scientific Instruments that was a recreation of Wormius' 
cabinet.

Good hunting,
Ed
