The term "cabinet of curiosities" originated in the 16th century in Germany, under the name "Kunstkabinett" ("wonder cabinet") or "Kunstkammer" ("wonder room" - cabinets were originally ancient rooms, then they evolved into cupboards). They were collections and exhibits of notable objects: relics, antiquities, works of art, natural or unnatural items, etc.
