Flickr Favorite: Through the sign

Yes, I think it’s a beautiful sign! You find it outside of the Royal Armoury in Stockholm. In this museum you’ll find robes from royal weddings and coronations and a number of elegant state coaches. Since our office is right next door we sometimes get to see when they take out the coaches for a ride :)

In the museum you can also see historic items such as the blood-stained shirts which Gustavus Adolphus was wearing when he was killed in the battle at Lützen, in 1632, or the costume worn by Gustavus III when he was assassinated at a masqued ball at the Royal Opera in 1792.

A great way to learn more about Swedish history!
