Royal Armoury, Military museum in Stockholm Royal Palace, Sweden
The Royal Armoury is a museum within the Stockholm Royal Palace that displays weapons, armor, ceremonial clothing, and royal carriages across several exhibition halls. The rooms showcase military equipment from different periods of Swedish monarchy.
The museum was founded in 1628 as a storage facility for Swedish royal weapons and armor. The collection spans four centuries of royal rule and preserves Sweden's military past.
The collection displays personal items from royal life, such as King Gustav III's masquerade costume with its original bullet hole and King Karl XII's mud-stained blue cap from battle. These belongings offer insight into the lives of Swedish monarchs and the conflicts that shaped the nation.
Daytime visits are best, when natural light shows the exhibition details most clearly. Audio guides in multiple languages help visitors understand the objects and their stories.
A stuffed horse named Streiff, which carried King Gustav II Adolf during the 1632 Battle of Lützen, stands as a central exhibit. This animal connects visitors directly to a pivotal moment in Swedish military history.
