Curio cabinet

A curio cabinet is a specialised type of display case, made predominantly of glass with a metal or wood framework, for presenting collections of curios, like figurines or other interesting objects that invoke curiosity, and perhaps share a common theme. A curio cabinet may also be used to display a solitary object of special interest, such as a hand-crafted doll.

For the term denoting a collection of unusual objects and the room-sized area containing them, see Cabinet of curiosities.
