The inventories from 1690 to 1827 Common to the 1674, 1690 and 1737 inventories is the fact that the collection is recorded room by room. Each one of these is in fact a comprehensive registration of the Kunstkammer collection at that time. In this they differ from the three later inventories of 1775, 1807 and 1827, which are records of additions, wherein the objects were entered according to their type, and not primarily after their placement within the collection. During the 18th century a change in the composition of the Kunstkammer took place. Up until this time the natural history sections had predominated, but now the new additions consisted chiefly of paintings and objets d'art, in line with contemporary trends in the rest of Europe. The inventories of 1737, 1775, 1807 and 1827 together provide a complete record of the collection as it appeared at the time of its dissolution in the 1820s. In connection with the dissolution a so-called 'administrative register' was drawn up, in which was recorded the fate of every single item following the era of the Kunstkammer.
