In the 1980s (I think) the Sheldon Jackson Museum in Sitka, Alaska, took
advantage of its original cases and the nature of its collection to design
its main exhibition as a retrospective cabinet of curiosity. I don't know
what is left of that design, but I enjoyed seeing it in 1986.

Subject: Re: Cabinets of Curiosities
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
