It was built for the exhibition of a wreck of the Vasa that was salvaged from the bottom of the sea. "Vasa" is an ancient warship of the seventeenth century. It was built in 3 years according to the will of King Gustav II of Sweden. Unfortunately, when the warship was on its maiden voyage, it was overturned by strong winds and waves, and the ship sank at an accelerated rate due to the excessive weight of the ship. It was not until 1961 that it was finally salvaged by the government and repaired in all aspects. Now walking into this museum, people can not only see the original appearance of the warship more than 300 years ago, but also appreciate more than 700 exquisite original sculptures on the ship. The decoration on this ship is very luxurious. If it weren't for those cannons, it is indeed difficult to associate it with warships. We have to marvel at the superb craftsmanship and carving craftsmanship of Swedish shipbuilding in the seventeenth century.Show Less - 7.04.6/5279 ReviewFree"Gamla stan enchants with cobblestone streets, vibrant facades, and rich history.

In addition to the main venue (the Royal House), you can also visit three exhibition halls such as the Treasure Pavilion. There is a guard handover ceremony and a band playing every day at 12:15 noon in the palace square in the summer. Although the scale of Stockholm's Palace is not as large as Versailles and Schönbrunn Palace. But its exquisiteness is not worse than Versailles, nor is it necessary to go to the toilet like Versailles, and it is not as good as the Schönbrunn Palace.

From the beginnings of Gustav III to the internationally renowned venues today, the Royal Opera House has witnessed the flourishing of Swedish art. Step into the theatre and you will be struck by its magnificent architecture and luxurious decorations. The yellow and white Art Nouveau appearance, plus the gilded door and columns, showcases an extraordinary temperament. The interior of the theater is unique, with excellent acoustics and sight design, allowing audiences to enjoy every wonderful moment. I was fortunate to have a high level of opera performance here. The superb acting skills of the actors and the perfect combination of the symphony orchestra made me feel like I was in the sea of art. Especially at halftime, you can also taste the fine champagne and dinner, adding a little extravagant atmosphere to the whole show. In short, the Royal Swedish Opera is not only a building, but also a treasure trove of art.
