Abstract (en)

Discusses the engraved frontispiece to Olaus Worm's catalogue of his Kunst- und Wunderkammern, Musei Wormiani Historia (Leiden, 1655), which depicts the museum as arranged in Worm's Copenhagen house. The reliability of this depiction was verified in 1988 when curators undertook a reconstruction of the room for an exhibition held at Trinitatiskirke, Copenhagen.
