The museum showcases art treasures collected by Swedish kings throughout the ages.
Most notably, it features 8 paintings by Rembrandt, especially his technique of using light (a technique of concentrating light sources to create dramatic effects), which is highly popular and well-received.
Stockholm Metro
The metro stations in Stockholm are also a sight to see and worth a visit.
Each platform has its own unique characteristics and styles. Some stations resemble caves, making you feel like you've traveled back to the Middle Ages. Some decorations promote sports and environmental protection. There are also sculptures, such as animals, forests, city history, figures, religious stories, and more.

China Palace Kina Slott
The China Palace was commissioned in 1753 by King Adolf Fredrik for his queen, Lovisa Ulrika. At that time, Chinese-style architecture and furniture were a popular trend among the European upper class.
The design of the China Palace combines French Rococo and Chinese architectural styles, reflecting the Western perception of China during that era.
