Cabinet of curiosities

I'm looking for a glass cabinet right now. I would like a cabinet where I can gather different objects that I collect; taxidermy birds, porcelain dogs, objects bought on trips and so on. I would like to create my own cabinet of curiostity. The original cabinet of curiosities or Kunstkammer emerged in the 16th century and was very popular in Renaissance Europe. Wealthy people created microcosmos or even museums of their own with natural history objects, geology, religious or historical relics and work of art. This type of display of objects has become popular now again and you see a lot of interior pictures inspired of natural history museums or classic 19th century English libraries. It's a trend were ones home should look like one of an old time explorer. I like it a lot, but I'm also aware of the authenticity problem. I think the objects you collect should be real and come from places you actually visited and not just objects you bought in the nearest cool vintage store. I've bought a lot online from for example ebay but I have this idea that for next year I'm only going to buy things when I visit different places in Sweden, for example small towns. In some way I feel that you get a more fair part of the objects history then and if you are lucky you buy it from someone that can tell a story about it's origin.

Here are some nice inspirational pictures of cabinet of curiosity ideas:
