Antiquarium

/ænˌtɪkˈwɛəriəm/ noun

Definition

A cabinet, room, or museum where ancient artifacts, manuscripts, and rare objects are collected and displayed; a collection of antiquities.

Etymology

Latin word meaning 'place where antiquities are kept,' from antiquarius. Used directly in English from the 16th century onward for formal collections and museums, especially in European institutions.

Kelly Says

The word itself sounds like a temple—because to early collectors, these rooms really were temples. The antiquarium at Naples or other Renaissance palaces was where wealthy people proved their refinement by displaying what they'd gathered.
