Livrustkammaren

The Royal Armoury of Sweden, the country's oldest museum, located in the cellars of the Royal Palace in Stockholm. It preserves ceremonial arms, armour, royal costumes, carriages and objects tied to the history of the Swedish monarchy. Among its most striking exhibits are the bloodstained clothes worn by kings at moments of assassination and battle. Coronation regalia and children's toys of the royal family broaden the display. The collection connects tangible objects to dramatic episodes of the nation's past.
