Kunstkammer In 1650, inspired by Ole Worm, the King Frederik III organised a collection named ”Det kongelige Kunstkammer or Mu-seum Regium”. It was located in the Castle of Copenhagen (Københavns Slot, the first Christiansborg). Years of important events:

– 1655 King Frederik III purchased the col-lection of Ole Worm and a book describing the collection was issued “Musei Wormiani Historia”. Worm’s collection was incorpo-rated together with other curiosa in Kunst-kammeret. – 1665–70 a new building called Kunstkammer-bygningen was constructed close to the castle on Slotsholmen. The Royal Art Collection encompassing natural history objects moved to this building. – 1728 Co-penhagen experienced a major fire destroying a large part of the city, but the Kunstkam-mer survived without harm. – 1775 Lorenz Spengler was appointed manager (kunstkam-merforvalter) of the cabinet of curiosities. He filled that position until 1807. – 1794 the castle Christiansborg burnt down, but as in 1728 the Kunstkammer survived without harm. – 1821 the zoological collections of the cabinet of curiosities amalgamated with collections from

”Det kongelige naturhistoriske Museum”. See also under Frederik III.

KVLH label In 1960 the cardiid collection was transferred to ZMUC from the KVLH. Most specimens have original labels. In addition the specimens were provided with small labels:
