The Tales Of Old Times

Gustav III Museum in Stockholm's Royal Palace, Sweden




These statues tell the story of a lifetime..

The stories of the past, the tales of unending festivities and never-resting place (become the symbol of culture relics), where merriment and laughter still bounce back, through these stone cold walls and marble floors when the rest of the world goes to slumber. The ghosts of the past (emperors and empresses) still embrace this place when no one is there to witness them and nobody is there to hear their wails of sorrow and regrets.

This place tells the tales of old times..
  
King Gustav III of Sweden has been criticized for his extravagant life, but he has a natural appreciation for Italian marble sculpture. Two years after Gustav's death, in 1794, the Swedish royal family opened the Stockholm Royal Palace to the public, establishing one of the oldest museums in Europe. This is the Gustav III Museum of Cultural Relics.
