The Royal Palace of Stockholm

Highlight • Castle

Since I like castles, I photographed the building. Unfortunately, I was unable to take part in a guided tour of the castle. Maybe another time I'm without a bike.

MARGARETA KROOK IS A WELL-KNOWN actress in Sweden, perhaps the country’s most well known. She played in dozens of films from the 1950s until her death in 2002 and also acted on stage many times.

During her life, Krook was approached with numerous proposals for statues to be built in her honor, but declined them all, stating that statues are cold and uninviting. However, after her death, the theater wanted a statue but they did not want to go against her wishes. The theater found a loophole that technically allowed for a statue and was in line with Margareta’s wishes: a heated statue.

The statue erected depicts Margareta in her favorite outfit and features a special coil to heat the statue to a comfy 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). The statue was placed in the corner next to the theater at the spot where she would smoke her pre-show cigarette.

Royal Dramatic Theatre (Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern)

Highlight • Monument

Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern is the full name of the Stockholm theater, but is usually referred to simply as Dramaten.
The theater was officially opened in 1908 with Strindberg's play Mäster Olof.
Many famous Swedish artists have contributed to the decorations of this Art Nouveau building. For example, many of the statues on the facade are by Carl Miles and Carl Larsson contributed to the ceiling paintings in the marble hall.
