Gustav III´s Museum of Antiquities in Stockholm Palace, Sweden
King Gustav III of Sweden had a reputation for spending money, and clearly he had an eye for marble sculptures from Italy. Gustav amassed such a large collection of fine art that in 1794, two years after his death, the royal family opened this display in the Stockholm Palace to the public, establishing one of Europe’s oldest museums.
