Sparreska palatset, Fredsgatan, Royal Academy of Fine Arts building in Stockholm, Sweden

The Renaissance-style palace on Fredsgatan 12 features red Gotlandic Hoburg limestone decorations and two bronze statues at its entrance.

Axel Carlsson Sparre constructed the building in 1671, and after surviving two fires, Gerhard Meyer donated it to the Academy in 1775.

The Royal Academy of Fine Arts organizes contemporary art exhibitions, awards ceremonies, and research programs throughout the year in this building.

Exhibitions are open from Tuesday to Wednesday and Friday to Saturday between 11 AM and 4 PM, with closures on Thursdays.

The entrance displays two bronze statues of a lion and a pig, cast from original molds brought from Italy in the late 17th century.
