Visiting the Royal Armoury Museum Stockholm, Shocking Historical Costume!

The music you chose (Brandenburg Concerto) is so perfect for this.

The kings grooms outfit is amazing, but dont give up! lol

Incredible costumes!

As a former costume student, had to keep pausing video; I was having palpitations!!! Thank you so much. Have subscribed.

Those panniers are extremely wide ..How could you get thru a Door Way ..❓❓

As a footnote Kristina wasn't his wife, she was a ruling queen who never married and pre dates him by more than a century.

they didn’t need a wall, they had it by them.
They should show the tailors, they did all the fascination work.

Over 20 yeears ago, I visited to this museum. It's an amazing place. Are you going to go to the dance museum? It's also worth the visit.

I live in Stockholm and this is one of my top favourite museums that I keep revisiting!

It's a fantastic museum and it gets thousands times better when you know a little about our Kings, Queens and their children.

A matter of fact; Gustav the III's wife was named Sofia Magdalena and was a Danish princess before she became Queen of Sweden. Kristina was our queen like your Elizabeth I, Victoria and Elizabeth II..Not his wife ;)

Since you liked it so much it may be worth noticing that they do not claim to be unique, but says that in Europe only Rosenborg Castle in Denmark and Dresden Armory, Germany have something similar in way of costume collections.
Worth knowing if you ever visits Copenhagen or Dresden.

Did you visit the treasury museum next door too?

Why do these shows always have annoying music, loudly played?

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I haven't been there in a very long time. But was very inspired by your video. Thank you so much.

The idea of sewing and embroidering (dear God the amount of embroidery...) all those pieces by hand is just staggering. I can't even imagine how many hours of work went into these clothes.

A fascinating and makabre part of the Royal Armoury collection is the outfits of no less than three Swedish kings who met violent deaths, complete with holes and bloodstains from various wounds. For Gustavus Adolphus, they even have the horse he was riding when he fell in fierce close combat at the battle of Lützen.

In Spain they call that a GUARDA INFANTES that is "children's keepers", but that size I would call it a wall...🤣 Life was difficult...and doors were wide...

The fabrics are divine, not to mention the sewing.

Fantastic museum! I've been there,GO VISIT if you can!😊👍☮❤

Yes its lovely museum and i love the venues. Underground and dark. Which it probably was everywhere in those days without electricity. Your fantasy run wild.

Charles X funeral armour. The whole funeral thing took 9 months to plan and cost 1/6 of Sweden's total budget that year. Very humble

I am Swedish and EVERY time I go to Stockholm, this museum is a must for me. I just love it.

Absolutely stunning! I wish I could go! 😊
I believe the masquerade outfit was the one Gustav III was killed in. He was assassinated at a masquerade. He was shot, but died 2 weeks later from septicaemia and pneumonia. Really rather horrible! I'm surprised the costume survived and looks to be in such a pristine condition!

In this museum I think. I am related way back to Gabriel Gyllengham. He got dubbed by the king Charles 12 before the poltava War in ukraine against russia. He was in the military. He has his family coat of arms in there.

I think it is in this museum.
