Gustav Horns palats, Museum building in Stockholm, Sweden
Gustav Horns palats sits at Fredsgatan 2 and features a renovated facade with a welcoming entrance area. Inside, the building holds multiple levels of exhibition spaces where visitors can explore collections spanning different periods and subjects.
The building was constructed between 1642 and 1648 as a residence for Field Marshal Gustaf Horn and served as an important private home in Stockholm. It later became the seat of the Svea Court of Appeal before transforming into its current museum role.
The Mediterranean Museum has called this building home since 1982, displaying items that tell stories about Swedish history and culture. Visitors can see how these objects connect people to their heritage and past.
Visitors need to be prepared for stairs throughout the building, as there is no elevator access. Service dogs and guides for blind visitors receive free entry and full support for their visit.
A destructive fire in 1873 led to major rebuilding work and the creation of an early public banking hall on the ground floor. This transformation made the building a landmark in Stockholm's financial history.
